Lessons you can’t learn in the classroom
Our ‘theory of change’ explains how a residential trip at UKSA influences cognitive change in children and young people, including skills such as attention, memory, learning, problem-solving, and reasoning. The theory considers the ecological systems approach to development and learning. Our residential trips offer a new environment outside of the classroom where our students can develop life skills. We have first-hand evidence that outdoor activity centres like UKSA help to improve mental health and confidence, build resilience, and instil life skills – all of which are essential attributes for our young people. Data is collected from beneficiaries before and after attending a residential trip.
Below are the results reported from the last three months that highlight staggering increases across all development elements, these findings demonstrate that our programmes improve self-confidence, personal growth, and ability to recognise capabilities.
Oceans of opportunity for those that need it most
Working closely with organisers, we create flexible packages tailored to your learning objectives, specific needs and budget. All ages and abilities are catered for at UKSA and we take great pride in the long-term relationships we build with the people that return to us year after year.
We assess these financial needs on a case-by-case basis. If you are a school teacher or youth group leader looking to book a group of students with some parents in receipt of financial support from the government (free school meals, pupil premium, universal credit) and or you live in an area of high deprivation (Check your postcode here) then your school or group may be able to benefit from our financial support.
