Team Building Fun And Exhilarating Competition

We’ve devised a unique set of lifesaving and coast guarding activities that play out on the breathtaking beaches of Newquay. Combining flag and fitness games with mock rescue scenarios, our Surf Survivor experience will challenge your class physically and mentally on some of Cornwall’s best surf beaches!

This is the perfect activity for all ages and there’s no better way to test your abilities than jumping in a wetsuit, getting sandy and problem-solving in the sea.

Bespoke Lessons For Your Curriculum

Our school adventure activities can be geared to feature current curriculum topics and learning goals. From science, maths, English language and literature, to personal development, social skills, self-confidence, motivational skills and physical development. Speak to our team about how we can arrange outdoor learning for your school group upon booking.

During our Surf Survivor challenge, students will be paddling rescue boards, riding surfboards, bodyboarding the shores and saving their teammates with Baywatch rescue tubes. It’s a beach and ocean experience like no other and only one team can win!

Each child needs to bring a completed medical declaration and consent form. Please note: those without will be unable to attend.
