Plan Your Perfect School Residential with Ease!
Fun, affordable, and hassle-free outdoor experiences tailored to your school.
Why Choose The Outdoor Ed School?
At the start of the academic year, we understand you're juggling countless tasks, including securing the perfect school residential for next summer term before everything books up. We know it can feel overwhelming — researching providers, finding the ideal location, managing budgets, and reviewing menus.
That’s why The Outdoor Ed School is here — to save you hours of searching and planning.
We’ve put together everything you need to know in one place to help you book your school’s next outdoor adventure with ease. Here are the six key questions to consider when planning your school activity camp:
Location: The Ideal Setting
Our campsite, Lepe Meadows, is nestled in the heart of the stunning New Forest National Park, just a mile away from one of the UK’s most beautiful beaches. It’s the perfect base for your students to explore and experience nature at its best.
Accommodation: Comfortable and Convenient
We can host up to 180 students at a time. You’ll have two tent options to choose from:
-
Bell Tents: Sleeping 4 students, these come equipped with camp beds, chairs, and tables.
-
Tunnel Tents: Accommodating up to 6 students, these tents offer plenty of space for belongings.
You'll also have access to toilet and shower facilities, as well as a spacious marquee/dining area. Teachers have their own tents, complete with camp beds, chairs, and tables for maximum comfort.
Extra Perks: Making Your Camp Effortless
From the moment you arrive, your dedicated Camp Leader will be on hand to ensure everything runs smoothly. They’ll help with organizing tents, navigating the site, liaising with catering staff, and keeping an eye on students during free time.
Teachers can relax in the exclusive teachers-only area, complete with comfy chairs, unlimited tea, coffee, and biscuits, plus a charging station for devices.
Activities: Fun, Engaging, and Award-Winning
Your students will take part in three exciting activities each day, plus a different evening activity every night. From team challenges to adventure sports, we offer a range of activities designed to inspire and engage.
Plus, every tented village comes with a games bucket packed with equipment to keep students entertained during free time.
Food: Delicious and Nutritious
We make sure everyone is well-fed!
-
Breakfast: A selection of cereals and pastries
-
Lunch: Sub-sandwiches or wraps, crisps, fruit, and a sweet treat
-
Dinner: A different meal each day from BBQ, pizza, pasta, or chilli
Snacks like fruit, biscuits, and juice are available throughout the day. We’re also happy to cater to any dietary requirements with advance notice.
Price: Affordable and Value-Packed
A fully catered 5-day, 4-night camp—including 15 different activities and 4 evening events—is just £250 + VAT per person. That’s £80 cheaper than any other local provider!
