FRENCH SUMMER ADVENTURE

An exhilarating week in the Alps

Join us for fun-filled mountain activities, from climbing and high ropes to mountain-biking and rafting

The mountains are calling…

French Adventure trips take you high up into the Alps for an action-packed week of summer mountain activities from climbing and high ropes to mountain biking and white-water rafting – all amid breath-taking scenery.

These trips give students a real taste for adventure, bringing out the best in them and inspiring a sense of confidence that will remain with them for life.

Schedules are flexible so we can build the itinerary around your group’s needs, and we always include a full programme of evening entertainment, too.

The physical demands of this programme make it more suited to older students, from Year 7 upwards. During the week the students really do begin to bond – once you’ve been 400m up in the air clinging to a rock face, you certainly have lots in common!

What do other schools say?

Jonathan Targett

Myton School

“Every single student, whatever their needs, is given the holiday of a lifetime, allowing them to develop all-important interpersonal, social and team-building skills that can only come from a quality residential experience. I can confidently recommend Elemental to any school. ”

Nena Selmes

Woking High School

“Not only does Elemental supply a thoroughly comprehensive package of activities for students, but they also provide a truly comprehensive service when planning and organising the trip. Never have we been in better hands. The action-packed week enjoyed by our Year 8 students has been talked about for weeks afterwards. Parents have been full of praise for the experiences their youngsters have had and for the excellent care and commitment that was shown by the Elemental team. We cannot praise Elemental highly enough.”

Lizzie Hughes

Mounts Bay Academy

“We have recently returned from the most incredible experience in the French Alps. The package put together by Elemental was outstanding - completely child-focused and designed to give the students an unforgettable and life-changing experience. This is a trip like no other, where ALL students can thrive, build new relationships and have a brilliant time. Parents have commented that they have not stopped hearing about their child’s adventures. As staff, we could sit back and let the reps take the lead. We were so impressed with their passion and the ethos of respect and appreciation for the outdoors that they impressed upon our students. We could not have asked for more! ”
