One of the primary goals of a residential trip is to encourage independence and resilience in children. Being away from their homes and families allows students to develop essential life skills like decision-making, problem-solving, and having more independent responsibility. Through the range of activities that are planned, children can learn to overcome challenges, build resilience, and become more confident.
Residential school trips allow children to forge new friendships, improve teamwork and enhance their social skills. By interacting with their peers in a different setting, students may learn to communicate more effectively, collaborate, and appreciate the value of teamwork. Taking part in team activities is crucial for children to develop skills such as empathy and respect, and this fosters a supportive and inclusive environment that extends beyond the trip.
