Give your students an unforgettable school residential on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. Our school camping trips combine outdoor adventure, learning and time away from the classroom, with activities including coasteering, kayaking, bushcraft and team challenges.
The best part? We make organising your school residential simple. Just enquire with Jen and she’ll guide you through the whole process. We handle the admin, you enjoy the trip.
We know how hard it is for teachers to find the time, so we take on as much of the admin as we can. We even built our own trip portal so the paperwork lives in one place.
For 20 years, Land & Wave has been helping schools get their students outdoors.
We believe that some of the best learning happens when you step outside the classroom. When students are trying something new, working together, getting stuck in and discovering what they can do for themselves.
That’s what our school residentials are all about.
From coasteering and kayaking to bushcraft, climbing and team challenges, we give students the chance to experience real adventure in one of the most incredible outdoor classrooms in the country. Our instructors know how to make activities exciting and challenging while making sure every student feels included, supported and able to have a go.
We’re lucky to call Dorset home. The Jurassic Coast, beaches, sea, cliffs and countryside are right on our doorstep, giving students the chance to experience the outdoors properly, not just talk about it.
And we know that organising a school residential can be a lot to take on. That’s why we make the process as simple as possible. From your first enquiry, our team is here to help, take care of the admin and make sure everything is ready for your trip.
We want students to leave Land & Wave with great memories, new confidence and, hopefully, a love of the outdoors that stays with them long after they’ve gone home.
Outdoor adventure doesn’t always come with perfect weather! We monitor the weather, tides and conditions throughout your stay and adapt the programme where needed. Our instructors will always make decisions based on keeping your group safe while making sure they still have a great experience.
We’ll provide you with a clear kit list before your trip, so students know exactly what they need to pack. Specialist activity equipment is provided by us.
Not as much as you might think. Once you’ve booked, we’ll guide you through what you need to provide and when. Our online schools portal makes it simple to upload student names, guardian information, dietary needs and medical information, while our team takes care of the admin behind the scenes.
Yes. We’re a nut-free site and no nuts are served on site. We can also cater for a range of dietary requirements and allergies. We’ll collect this information before your trip so our catering team can prepare accordingly.
Please let us know about any medical conditions, additional needs or support requirements when planning your trip. Our team can discuss your requirements with you and work with you to make sure the activities and residential are suitable for your group.
We provide activity-specific risk assessments, insurance documents and other information schools may need for their trip planning. Our instructors are qualified and experienced, with relevant first aid, National Governing Body and water rescue training.
Yes. We offer a free pre-trip site visit, giving teachers the opportunity to see the campsite, meet the team and get a feel for how the residential works before bringing their students.
It’s simple. Just enquire with Jen and she’ll guide you through the process. We’ll help you choose the right trip, activities and dates, then take care of the admin from there.
