School Camps Accommodation

Staying overnight in school camp accommodation can be an extremely exciting and valuable experience for students. As well as the exhilaration of being with their friends away from home, overnight stays are a great opportunity for young people to get a taste of independence and begin to develop the social skills necessary for living in shared accommodation.

For teachers, choosing the right school camp accommodation can mean the difference between a good night’s sleep and very little sleep at all. Ideally, you will be easily accessible in an emergency and able to keep an eye on things, but not so close that you have to listen to the late night chats.

Safety is, of course, the biggest consideration when it comes to choosing school camp accommodation. The best bet is to choose an accommodation provider with experience in dealing school groups – they will be well-equipped to deal with the specific requirements of your school and the education system. If your school camp includes a main activity at a specific venue, ask the venue staff to recommend some trusted local providers.

It’s a good idea to arrange a site inspection of your chosen school camp accommodation before the camp itself, taking into account the facilities available, layout of rooms, cleanliness and hygiene, potential hazards and disability access.
