Accommodation Where will your adventure take you?

Real Adventure is a mobile unit and we have the flexibility to rock up and convert any accommodation block into a fully functioning outdoor centre. We bring along all the kit, extra drying facilities (so your clothes actually dry for the next day!) food and chef with catering equipment - everything except the kitchen sink! We can book the accommodation for you so all you have to worry about is getting there, we can even sort out that if you wish. By not having the overheads of a residential building you will be surprised at the value our bespoke packages.

It's the people skills that make good outdoor ed, great outdoor ed

  • I have been working with the RA team for 5 years now. Dan works closely with us to put together a bespoke programme each year taking into account the needs of the cohort but because of his expertise and highly qualified and professional instructors it remains flexible to allow us to adapt for the weather, children’s abilities and interests as their adventure develops.

  • There is clear evidence that outdoor learning has a positive impact on young people, and when that learning is of high quality the impact can be life changing. For many, just being outdoors can have a huge benefit in terms of health and well-being, stimulating curiosity and developing an appreciation of the world around them. When such experiences are part of a progressive programme designed to support integrated learning in both formal and informal settings, the impact is greatly enhanced.

  • Pat and I organised the trip again this year: I can honestly say that it was one of the absolute best ! Dan the Man got together a fantastic set of instructors and locations / activities, and combined with our own team of superb staff and Otters we all created a week that I know the kids will always remember. Thanks to everyone – especially all the kids who were up for some pretty scary stuff – for a fantastic week.

  • …..a residential learning experience provides opportunities, benefits and impacts that cannot be achieved in any other educational context or setting.

    Learning Away Final Report 2015

  • " Our school have just returned from a residential visit to the Yorkshire Dales. Dan and the team at Real Adventure were extremely helpful and accommodating during the planning stages.

    I have over 20 years of experience as a teacher organising residential trips and was uncertain about how not having a traditional residential centre would affect the visit. However, my fears were completely unfounded and I came to realise the flexibility that having no fixed centre gives. Real Adventure worked to find us accommodation to meet our needs. The cooks and instructors then came to us. I must very highly commend the quality and experience of all of the instructors who enabled us to have a very enjoyable week. All of the activities provided a well-placed level of challenge and all instructors adapted to meet the needs of the children.

    I can highly recommend a residential course organised by Real Adventure."
