When bringing a group to the Centre, Braeside's teachers will be able to help you plan the best programme for your pupils. This may coincide with your current topic of work, you may also want to include some literacy or numeracy, or you may want your group to engage in some team building activities, especially if they are a new class.

We can organise the days for you, as agreed prior to your visit. The evenings are usually your responsibility but you may use Braeside's resources if required, (i.e. orienteering, treasure hunt). Braeside staff may lead some evening activities by prior arrangement. Many of the activities can be run independently or link up with others to form a whole day of activities based around a particular venue or subject. Other activities take a whole day to complete.

We have links to each of the activities below with an idea of running times to help you to decide on a possible programme for your visit. If you would like to do something that isn't on the list please don't hesitate to ask - Braeside specialises in tailor made activities.
