All about Somerset

Upper Primary Adventure – Somerset provide an outstanding ‘Peak Experience’ for upper primary years, encompassing a range of journey based activities, punctuated with adventurous and challenge activities to create a lasting positive memory in these important years.

Lower Secondary Peer Support Camps – This critical time, early in a student’s high school life, can be a powerful time for Outdoor Education. Various team building and developmental activities are well framed in a programme structured around small groups and interaction amongst the year group.

Upper Secondary Challenge Programmes – During this pivotal period in secondary schooling, the power of a challenging Outdoor Education experience, can be formative in development of the individual. Somerset provides a range of journey based programmes aimed at extending and developing students them based on an action and consequence experience. These programmes, typically 4 – 5 days in length see groups completing a canoeing and hiking journey punctuated with various activities, and focused on self reliance as well as group cohesion.

Duke of Edinburgh Award Expeditions – Somerset also provides expeditions for Duke of Edinburgh Award Participants, across the Bronze, Silver and Gold Levels. Our expeditions are run either for open registration during the school holidays, or as a school specific booking throughout the term. We also are able to embed an expedition, particularly at the bronze level, within a year level programme at Somerset. Click here for more information about Duke of Edinburgh Expeditions
