Schools at Horseshoe Lake
Our school activity sessions are designed with guidance from the national curriculum, Royal Yachting Association, and British Canoeing to give your pupils an experience of learning outside of the classroom. We use games with aims to develop their personal and inter-personal skills: improving each pupil’s confidence in both themselves and their peers, strengthening the groups bond, and developing the ability to place trust in those around them.
Our sessions are fun, safe, and structured with the hope that every pupil will learn something new, whether they have taken part in the activity before or not. We like to push the boundaries with our participants, to move them out of their comfort zones and teach them it is okay to take risks in a safe and monitored environment.
Activities:
