We now have more accommodation options available but the original ethos of the village experience runs through everything we do. At the heart of all of our trips is the value of community spirit, team work, dining altogether as one group, singing, toasting marshmallow around the campfire, getting to know our staff and ultimately living, working and playing together as one school group.
