It’s time for students to step out their comfort zone and discover what they are capable of! In today’s world, young people can be faced with many challenges and our Dales Discoverer programme is designed to help overcome these by helping students to overcome social barriers and build confidence.
Students will venture across a lake or down a river on paddleboards, learn to read maps and navigate through forests and to the top of mountains, and climb to the top of our high-level ropes course.
Taking on challenges they didn’t think they could, students will build self-confidence and self-esteem – making new friendships and creating memoires for a lifetime along the way.

Curriculum Links
A meaningful residential visit isn’t only about having fun, making new friends, building confidence, learning to work together as a team, and developing an appreciation for our natural environment… it’s also about weaving interesting content into outdoor activities that enrich the curriculum which benefits students when they are back in the classroom.
Paddleboarding
Design and Technology
Paddleboarders can learn all about the design of the boards and how materials have developed over time with rigid and inflatable models. They can also learn how balance and trim effects the performance of the craft.
History: Local
Local history around the uses of the waterways by people, now and in the past, can be explored in detail. Discussion can be had around what the areas close to the waterway were used for and how this has changed over time.
Mountain Adventure
Geography: Maps
Students can use ordinance survey maps to navigate their way around the hills. They can be introduced to key features and their use in navigation such as scale, contours, and rights of way. Discussion can also be had about why maps like these are used rather than using other options such as aerial photographs.
Science: Earth and atmosphere
Whilst on the hills it is inevitable that different types of rock will be found. These can be introduced along with their properties, and a discussion on the rock cycle can form a part of the discovery. Soil types can also be discussed and peat, in particular, on how it is a large carbon store and the impact that releasing CO2 has on the environment.
English: Arguments
Students can be taught about some of the land uses in the national park – pros, cons, and reasons why. With this knowledge, they can form into groups and In groups and create persuasive arguments for and against these land uses.
High Ropes
Maths
Fractions can be used throughout a high ropes session as a way of describing the height. This can be used for students setting targets of where they want to get to, then again to review their success and set new objectives for subsequent attempts. Fractions are an excellent descriptor.
