School & College Residential Activity Breaks
For many students the positive effects of learning outside the classroom in this way are both immediate and long lasting. The Calvert experience promotes physical activity, boosts self-belief, helps with social interaction, and gives pupils and staff a shared point of reference which can help with engagement when back in the classroom.
Whatever your age or ability, a visit to Calvert Devon will provide a life changing experience; building self-confidence, developing life skills, making friends and having fun.
The centre is open year round and we welcome schools and colleges to visit for three, four or seven night breaks, and offer your pupils and students a unique opportunity to undertake exciting and challenging outdoor adventure activities in a safe, accessible environment.
After a busy day of activities, groups can access our swimming pool, sensory room, games room and sports hall for continued team-building and socialising.
Prices vary according to the season and duration of the break. Please contact us to discuss your particular needs. Pre-visit tours are also available on request.
To book please call our reservations team on 01598 763221 or email using the contact form below.
We look forward to welcoming you here to enjoy ‘the Calvert Experience’ with us.
