The benefits of school trips
YHA School Trips offer young people the opportunity to experience a wide range of challenges and activities that go beyond the boundaries of the classroom.
Through a range of National Curriculum-linked packages young people broaden their horizons as they learn new skills, improve their ability to work as part of a team and conquer their fears, in a fun and safe environment.
Staying away from home enables young people to get away from their immediate environment and open up to a variety of new learning opportunities, which cannot be accessed at home or from a day trip.
The YHA School Trips experience sends pupils back to school with a new sense of confidence, self-awareness and with an increased willingness to try new experiences.



Learning outside the classroom is not some optional extra. It should excite young people, deepen their understanding of classroom subjects and are a vital to make young people independent, confident and self-reliant.
