The action happens at our two dedicated beach centres in Falmouth and Newquay and trips can last a few days or a whole week – the choice is yours. From kayaking and coasteering to surfing and bodyboarding, it’s about learning new skills, meeting challenges, having fun, gaining confidence and building bonds with peers and adults.

The programme can be tailored to suit your group, incorporating team-building sessions, day trips and a full programme of evening entertainment – whatever you need, we can deliver.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where will we go?

Activities take place at ElementaUK’s two coastal centres – Swanpool beach in Falmouth, a naturally sheltered bay that’s perfect for sailing, kayaking and coasteering, and Elemental Lodge in Newquay, a stone’s throw from Fistral beach, the world-famous surfing and bodyboarding destination.

How do we get there?

Door-to-door coach travel organised by school.

Where will we stay?

Full-board accommodation will be in specially selected hotels in and around Newquay and Falmouth, including our very own Elemental Surf Lodge, close to Fistral beach. Bright and airy group rooms cater for a variety of group sizes, and communal dining and lounge areas offer the change to gather in one large, welcoming space at the beginning and end of the day.

What activities will we do?

At Swanpool our team of experienced instructors teach a variety of watersports, including kayaking, sailing, coasteering, stand-up paddleboarding, raft-building, Swim Safe sessions and mega-SUP. At Newquay we have our own on-site surf school, which means you can surf and bodyboard in Fistral’s world-famous waves and learn surf life-saving skills. We can also weave in additional trips and evening ents, from visiting the Eden Project and a local aqua park to beach games, beach BBQs and pizza nights – just say the word.

What do other schools say?

Lucinda Baines
South Dartmoor Community College
“We love it so much we come back every year! Excellent location, with excellent instructors who are knowledgeable and fun, great facilities and high-standard equipment. Students talk about how much they enjoyed their enrichment week even years later. For both staff and students, it’s the highlight of the year.”

Mike Scott
Woking High School
“We have been delighted with the excellent package that Elemental provide, and with the care, support and guidance they offer throughout the whole process. Since our first trip with Elemental we have never looked back.”

Andy Egford
Hampshire Collegiate School
“The kids said it was amazing – possibly the best school trip they have ever been on.”

Sian Maloney
Stratford Upon Avon School
“This was by far the easiest, most organised and well-run trip. Elemental staff were fantastic and worked so well with all our Year 9 students. They knew when to push them to do something and when to back away. The students want to go again next year as do the staff! Parents have praised the trip highly and can't believe how much their sons and daughters enjoyed themselves. Couldn't recommend Elemental more highly.”

Matthew Rush
The Grange School, Aylesbury
“I have been running a watersports school trip with Elemental for the last 10 years. Every year the team go out of their way to make it a fantastic - and in some cases a life-changing - experience. I can't rate it highly enough.”
