Our School Programmes are linked to both the IB and British National Curriculum

Drawing upon more than 14 years of experience working closely with international schools, we have created a comprehensive Outdoor Education Curriculum with links to both the International Baccalaureate Curriculum and the British National Curriculum. Our programmes focus on whole-person development as we nurture the sensitivity, tolerance, creative thinking and potential of tomorrow’s global leaders in today’s students.

Registration for school camps should be no later than three month before the starting date of the camp. Peak camping dates (Sept-November) are often requested a year or more in advance for both residential and camping.

We provide insurance coverage for all participants on our programmes. Schools and parents are required to have medical and dietary information submitted to us before all programmes start to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Please contact us for our policies.

We promote life long learning by ensuring that students inquire, take action and reflect upon their experiences. The aims and objectives of our course design complement the IB curriculum as we allow for students to take an inquiry approach to learning. We believe young learners develop social skills through a balanced understanding of Adventure, Community and the Environment. Our reflections will include self-assessment, group assessment and peer feedback.

At Treasure Island and Global Adventures we develop progressive school curriculum camps. Our programmes are focused on year bands and can hold upto 250 students from 1-5days. Working closely with teachers and programme coordinators, our approach to developing a camp programme that includes Adventure + Community + Environment activities.

Camp Itinerary & Lessons

Want your EAL/ESL class to experience a uniquely stimulating language platform?

Our English Outdoor Education Day camps provide the perfect situation for enhanced communication in English as students are confronted with a wide variety of objects and activities for which they know the English words and then given the motivation to use them in conversation!

Students employ active listening skills as well as a variety of speaking skills (including pronunciation development with native English speakers and confidence in interacting in a real conversation). Reading and writing skills are also brought into play as students learn new topics, do research, and fill in related worksheets.
