School Groups Dublin
Rafting and bushcraft adventures for secondary schools
Students with the help of our guides will learn to navigate along on the River Liffey, through the beautiful Strawberry Beds, flowing downriver, navigating four weirs where they will see stunning wildlife and discover some intriguing history on the way. In the 2nd part of the day, students will partake in an Action-bound Scavenger Hunt and Bushcraft Challenge , where they learn a series of survival skills from building shelters to fire starting using flints and strikers. At the end of the session, students can take pride in their accomplishments by enjoying toasted marshmallows and hot chocolate around the campfire and chat about their day.

Studies show, being outdoors and around water induces feelings of wellbeing and a reconnection with nature. This greatly benefits students as they develop a sense of self, independence, confidence, creatively, decision making, problem solving skills, empathy towards other, self-discipline and initiative.
Our Programme is specifically designed to suit small group work which promotes positive communication and teamwork, while encouraging engagement from all members of the team. Our programme can be adjusted to suit any year group from 1st to 6th year and we are happy to work with you to tailor the day to ensure your students fully harness their experience.
