School Groups
Steve Roberts, the Director of Blue Mountain Activities has 20 years’ experience teaching in schools and outdoor education centres, and understands the specific needs of different groups within schools, for example:
We can provide an appropriate programme of team building activities to include adventure activities and/or problem solving to numerous groups within school;
- A varied and balanced programme of adventure activities to Years 5 + 6 and to Years 7 - 10 during the Summer term, as part of an ‘inclusive’ and enrichment programme.

- A short residential programme offered for the whole of Year 7 year group, at the beginning of September or October to promote personal development and team working skills and to allow the young people to get to know each other as part of an accelerated process and at the start of their secondary school life
