Residential Trips

At Crosby Hall Educational Trust, every day brings a new opportunity for growth and exploration.

About Educational Visits

The value of residential courses for children is widely recognised; a period of community living is seen as an essential part of a child’s social and educational development. Immersion in this beautiful and friendly environment, away from the distractions and pressures of everyday life, can benefit students of all ages, often allowing previously undiscovered talents to emerge. We offer a number of options (see below), providing full board, freshly prepared nutritional meals and a comprehensive timetable of activities for residential stays. Having recently extended our facilities we are now able to accommodate up to 63 children, with all groups benefitting from sole occupancy.

Our Residential Accommodation

We offer comfortable accommodation to sleep residential trips and groups of up to 63 children plus 10 adults.

Group Residentials

We offer a safe and secure environment with sole occupancy to all residential groups. This means peace of mind for both parents and teachers as each group has the place to themselves!

Learning & Activities

Abseiling

Learn to abseil down the side of our new purpose-built tower. This will test trust, courage and confidence and helps to builds resilience, determination and how to calculate and control risk. It will leave you with a great sense of achievement!

Adventure Course

Negotiate our fabulous course of obstacles to increase confidence and self esteem. This activity teaches children resilience, to react positively to challenges, manage appropriate risk taking as well as building up fitness.

Archaeology​

Participate in an archaeological excavation where you will find Stone Age, Egyptian or artefacts from the Classical world. This activity is in conjunction with The University of Liverpool and can support a related history topic at school.

Archery

Learn to shoot arrows at targets in our specifically designed indoor range. Learning this skill teaches children hand/eye co-ordination and resilience. Patience and perseverance is required.
