THE ISLAND

Discover a treasure trove of idyllic beaches, blue lagoons and tropical rainforest on our own private Island in the heart of the Caribbean. Immersed in this vibrant landscape, your students will encounter an abundance of wildlife, explore The Island's vibrant culture and put their Bushcraft skills to the ultimate test.

This non-stop adventure starts off amid the hustle and bustle of St Georges before we delve into the labyrinthine rainforest, and finally set up camp on a private desert island for the ultimate Shipwreck experience.

Living in this diverse environment will give your students a chance to apply their skills in a broad range of contexts and gain a unique insight into life in the tropics. From jungle navigation and primitive fishing techniques, to making shelters out of bamboo and engaging in our thrilling Shipwreck survival scenario, no two days on The Island are the same.

With links to the National Curriculum, the programme explores the rich environmental and agricultural history of the island, from its world-renowned spice and cocoa production to its history of slavery and colonisation.

Working with the island community on an organised project for part of their trip will also give students a chance to socialise with local children, learn about their culture and share new experiences. All of our projects are sustainable and guided by in-country experts to ensure maximum benefit to the local community.

Food

All of the food is freshly prepared on site and the students will cook at least one meal a day. A typical menu might include red snapper, a traditional callaloo soup and fried plantain.

Accommodation

The students will construct and sleep in traditional bamboo longhouses with woven Atap roofs and mosquito nets.
They will also have the opportunity to sleep in hammocks; a favourite in the tropics.
