What Are The Benefits of Youth Group Activities?

Children get a lot from youth group activities, particularly improved academic performance through practical experiences, stronger social abilities, and personal development. They expose students to new processes, promote independence, and encourage teamwork. Additionally, school activity days promote mental wellness, and assist in the development of critical life skills outside of the education system.

Blue Ocean Activities Reviews: School Activity Days

City of Bath College

A fantastic time had by all. Both students and staff found Canyoning in Wales with Blue Ocean an exciting and challenging experience. We found their staff to be encouraging, patient and most importantly for us safety conscious (with a group of seventy 16-18 year olds under our supervision). On a personal note I have worked for many years with various providers of outdoor activities and find that Neil and the Blue Ocean team are always professional and a pleasure to work with. A big thank you to the Blue Ocean team from the staff and students. Dave Hodder Public Services Learning Coordinator – City of Bath College

St John’s on the Hill Prep School

As part of our Year 8 leavers programme we enlisted the help of Blue-Ocean to organise some team building activities and George scrambling. The professional standards displayed by Neil and his team instilled great confidence in our pupils and staff. The children were challenged in an exciting environment yet constantly monitored and cared for by the Blue Ocean Staff. The sense of achievement by all the pupils was certainly visible on their faces at the end of the day. We will certainly be using Blue Ocean in the future.” Chris Coleman – St John’s on the Hill Prep School

Imberhorne School

Gorge scrambling was amazing!!! Excellent service. Great value for money. Very accommodating – fitted us in last minute. Staff were 100% professional. The students (year 9) had a brilliant time and all the students have not stopped talking about it. It was by far their favourite activity of the week.
Thank you so much this activity made the residential more fun and challenging and as a school we would be more than happy to book with you in the coming years. 100% recommendation!!!!!!!!!!“ Stacey Arrowsmith – Imberhorne School
