Make organising student adventure travel easy with Voyager

Student adventure travel can be difficult to organise because there's a lot to think about ? accommodation, transport, safety, activity planning and so on can take up a huge amount of time and effort to sort out. This is why many schools are increasingly turning to adventure travel companies which have the facilities and experience necessary to make their trip a success. Voyager Adventure, which has been operating across Europe since 1991, is one of these adventure travel companies.

Voyager has nine sites available for school parties to book in Western Europe in locations suitable for both watersports and mountaineering ? these include Argeles sur Mer, Normandy and the Ardeche in France, with a Greek location near the village of Achia and Spanish locations including Arbolar and Andalucia.

The full range of activities available vary from centre to centre, but include kayaking, abseiling, snorkelling and archery, with full itineraries worked out before your party arrives. In addition, trips to local sites of interest (Picasso's birthplace in Spain, the Acropolis in Greece, Paris in France, etc) can be arranged so that the students actually experience and learn something about the history and culture of the country they're staying in, as well as having fun.

Accommodation also varies between the sites (the Ardennes programme places you in tented villages with toilet and shower blocks, while you'll be based in a chalet with en-suite bedrooms if you opt for the Alpine Adventure in the French Alps), but it is all of a high quality, with staff used to dealing with school groups.

As well as being used as a base for meals and relaxation, the accommodation will also host evening activities, such as quizzes and karaoke.

Safety is obviously of paramount importance for everyone concerned and, as well as every staff member being thoroughly trained, experienced and qualified to take charge of groups of children in these activities, the company's sites also meet the most stringent European health and safety laws. However, the company realises you may want to visit the site before you commit to a booking, which it is happy to accommodate so that you can carry out a risk assessment and make sure that you want to go ahead with the trip.

Student adventure travel has definitely become more ambitious, but these are the experiences that make friendships and memories. The experience and expertise of the company is second-to-none, helping your students learn the value of teamwork, increase their confidence and develop new skills that can be put to good use later on in life.
