Education & Holidays
Welcome to our Outdoor Adventure Xperiences, where we aim to unleash children’s personal growth through collaborative teamwork, resource sharing, problem-solving, and risk management—skills that are often challenging to cultivate within traditional school settings. Nestled in the picturesque Cotswold Lakes, ROX stands as one of the UK’s premier residential centres for schools, boasting an array of thrilling options for school visits and team-building activities that Gloucestershire has to offer.
You can relax knowing that you will be well looked after by a team of qualified instructors backed by a range of nationally recognised accreditations including the Institute of Outdoor Learning, Adventure Mark, Royal Yachting Association, Paddle UK and the Adventurous Activities Licensing Authority.
In a time where teachers strive to ignite passion and learning in their students amid the hurdles of larger class sizes and constant assessments, finding innovative ways to cater to diverse learning styles can be daunting. How do we provide individualised attention while engaging the entire group? We firmly believe that the great outdoors holds the key… and we’re not alone in this belief. According to Ofsted, “Getting children out of the classroom raises ‘standards, motivation, personal development, and behaviour”.
With our expertise in outdoor education and our stunning lakeside setting, we empower teachers to unlock these benefits for students of all ages. Join us on an adventure where learning knows no bounds—discover the transformative power of outdoor education with The Real Outdoor Xperience today!
