School Camp Prices

The excellent feedback we receive from our schools tells us that our camps are outstanding value for money. The Outdoors People is a non-profit, so you can be assured that we are always working hard to keep our prices low.

Because we come to you, we are significantly cheaper than comparable residential trips and you also save on transport costs and staff time.

"The learning experience for every child was fantastic and the intended learning outcomes and more were achieved!"
