We are very pleased to inform you that we are organising a Year 9 Activities trip with a very experienced
activity centre for the summer of 2016. This will allow students to celebrate the end of Key Stage 3 before
moving onto their IGCSEs the following year.
Adventure Ardeche is an English-speaking multi-activity holiday company located in the Ardeche region in the
south of France located in the picturesque area of the Chassezac Gorge, surrounded by beautiful paleolithic
forests and wild life. The family-run site we will use is fully equipped with large modern chalets with their own
toilets and showers. They offer a multi activity program that allows our group to enjoy new physical
challenges and experiences. As well as climbing and abseiling locally in the Chassezac Gorge, they also provide
a three day canoeing descent of the Ardeche Gorge. Students will paddle in pairs through some 37 Kilometres
of one of the most dramatic landscapes in France. There will be many opportunities in which to play, swim
and picnic. One of the highlights for many is the overnight bivouac with barbeque. They also provide a day at a
nearby High Ropes facility and always manage to squeeze in a trip to one of their local, bustling French
markets.
As well as the bonding and learning encouraged by the physical challenges, the experience will gives the pupils
an opportunity to experience local French culture; food, geology, natural history and, of course, the French
language.
