Description
BENMORE HOUSE:
Our 19th century listed manor house has been modernised to provide comfortable group accommodation. Able to sleep one hundred and twenty seven across four wings, bedrooms range from dorm style quarters sleeping six to ten in bunks to twin bed rooms, some with en-suite facilities.
Many visitors to Benmore have commented on the magical Botanic Garden location, the building's architecture and occasionally a certain likeness to Hogwarts Castle. We can’t promise you’ll see Harry Potter fly past, but we can assure you of a memorable experience.
Our adventure course designed around the school curriculum delivers your pre-selected curricular foci through wild places and an excellent choice of adventurous activity. A residential course of real adventure in wild places.
We work in partnership with you to create a detailed course which matches your needs, which will be adjusted throughout your stay to maximise participation and achievements and take advantage of what our wild surroundings have to offer. There is a vast range of adventurous activities, mostly offsite.
Each group typically has a dedicated instructor who builds relationships quickly and adjusts the course in partnership with you and the participants to maximise support and challenge. We rely on past experiences to ensure participants achieve and apply their skills, knowledge and understanding within different contexts. Participants will have time to reflect on their experiences and discuss their next challenge!
There is a developing set of resources to support cross-curriculum learning, which assists in making the residential course an integral part of your school curriculum.
Due to significant demand, we highly recommend you enquire and book well in advance. Call or email to speak to an adviser, who can guide you.
