Adventure is calling! For pupils in years 3 and 4, stepping into the great outdoors for the first time can be a transformative experience. PGL’s exciting PIONEER! programme offers a fantastic opportunity for young learners to try new things while boosting their confidence and complementing key learning outcomes. 

Read on for more details about how our adventure trips can inspire your pupils to explore their potential and create lasting memories!

 

The benefits of trying new things 

A variety of fun outdoor activities

One of the standout features of PGL’s PIONEER! programme is its diverse range of outdoor activities that are tailored especially for younger pupils. From archery to climbing and micro scooters, there’s something for everyone! 

What’s more, our approach emphasises gradual skill development, allowing pupils to try new experiences at their own pace. As they learn and master new skills, they’ll gain confidence and might even uncover hidden talents they never knew they had!

Building confidence and independence

Our residential trips are a wonderful way for children to face and conquer new challenges. Activities like raft building and the giant swing encourage them to push their limits and build resilience. For many, this will be their first time away from home, and these experiences help them learn how to cope with being independent.

Celebrating achievements—big or small—is vital. Each time your pupils succeed at a new task, they’ll feel a sense of accomplishment that motivates them to embrace further challenges with excitement. It’s just one of the many benefits of trying new things! 

Creating a safe and supportive environment

Safety is our top priority during PGL adventure trips. All activities are led by trained and experienced staff who follow strict safety protocols, allowing your class to focus on having fun and learning. You can rest assured knowing they are in capable hands.

At PGL, we cultivate a supportive atmosphere that encourages pupils to embrace new opportunities while providing a nurturing environment for growth. When children feel safe and supported, they’re more likely to step out of their comfort zones, enhancing their adventure experience.

Social opportunities

Adventure trips are not just about individual growth; they also offer amazing social opportunities. Group activities encourage interaction and bonding among pupils, whether through campfires, balloon splashes, or fun on micro-scooters. 

Additionally, team-building tasks, such as problem-solving, highlight the importance of collaboration and communication. Pupils learn to work together, share ideas, and celebrate each other’s successes. Ultimately, these shared experiences help build strong relationships and foster a sense of belonging.
