Schools
& Colleges
Many of
our treks are ideal for school groups and we are able to
customize any itinerary to meet any specific aims and objectives
that a school may have. We are in the fortunate position
of having close links with many organisations throughout
Nepal who would benefit greatly from any form of help from
a school group undertaking a project.
We are fully aware of the responsibilities that both the
school and teachers have with a foreign trip and we focus
at the highest level on the health and safety aspect of
our school programmes, especially as we will be in an outdoor
environment and often in remote areas. Our UK guides
and leaders all have a lifetime experience of guiding and
leading groups in the mountain environment. Our staff have
well honed people skills and are capable of dealing with
all ages and abilities to deliver a high level of exciting,
stimulating and powerful learning experiences. Additionally,
they have expertise in risk assessing at every level and
you can be sure that you will be in the safest of hands
for any of our treks. We are also willing to visit you for
initial planning meetings and discussions. As we are a UK
based company, we also offer pre departure training weekends
to get the groups fit and knowlegable of all aspects of
the trek. A trek for a school group offers the exposure
to new and stimulating environments and provides a valuable
out-of-classroom learning experience as well as highlighting
specific areas of the curriculum, e.g. Geography, Humanities
and Religious Studies. It can also provide the opportunity
for a specific case study. There is really no limit to the
itineraries that a school group can undertake providing
the group is well briefed and when necessary undergoes a
certain amount of training and assessment. The reaction
from our school groups is consistently positive, enthusiastic
and always very rewarding, in terms of unforgettable experiences.
If you have ideas on a particular destination within Nepal
we will be happy to provide you with a suitable itinerary.
Alternatively, if the concept of a trekking programme appeals
to you without having a particular destination in mind,
just call our office and we will be pleased to recommend
itineraries that are particularly suited to your group’s
interests, aspirations, abilities and the time duration
available

Our treks give schools and other groups the opportunity to
experience a wonderful variety of scenery, environments, people
and religion and, as well as the physical challenge, a trek
with Safe Journeys is sure to enlighten and enrich the mind
of each student. Many of our treks are also suitable destinations
for a Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award qualifying venture.
Charity Treks and Events. A Charity Trek
or ascent of a Himalayan Trekking Peak can be a wonderfully
rewarding and profitable fundraising tool for charities with
the added benefit of potential media exposure which will almost
certainly enhance the potential for the charity to gain further
recognition. On our Charity Treks, not only do we run the
trek but we also provide a build up phase prior to the trek
which includes a training programme, a 'free' hillwalking
weekend in Scotland. |
| Please
remember that it is essential to start the planning for any
group (especially for schools) very early, preferably 9 -
12 months before the proposed departure, certainly if fundraising
is likely to be involved. |
