Top School Trips 6

www.teachwire.net/school-trips | 17 1 Bounce on trampolines Your group can enjoy ultimate bouncing fun at AirHop parks, which feature wall-to-wall trampolines that span the floor and reach up the walls. Bouncing is a low-impact activity that burns as many calories as 30 minutes of jogging in just 10 minutes while improving balance, coordination skills, and spatial awareness, as well as working your core and improving circulation. 2 Hoptastic team challenges There are plenty of ways for classmates to compete while having fun at the same time! Pupils can shoot some hoops in a gravity-defying game of basketball on the SlamDunk lanes, team up and take on an opposing team in fast and furious games of dodgeball or football in the Airena (airtracked football pitches), or race up the peaks on a variety of climbing activities at the indoor Clip’n Climb zones found at Esher, Guildford, Chelmsford and Aberdeen. No climbing experience required! 6 THINGS TO DO AT... AirHop UK 3 Elevate your Hopability Students will have plenty of opportunities to exercise their brains as well as their physical abilities with AirHop’s various interactive attractions. Options include the augmented reality (AR) trampolines, where trampolining meets computer gaming; the fast-paced Aerostrike; and AirSquares, in which students must light up the floor as groups go head-to-head in pixel floor games. They can even test their reaction times on the ReactionWall or High 9 by tagging all the lit-up pods as fast as possible. 4 Hop yourself happy Trampolining isn’t just fun; it’s good for you as well. It reduces stress in the body and releases endorphins – the body’s feel-good chemicals – so students will happily come back for more bouncing. Of course, more time spent bouncing means more time spent active and less time spent staring at screens and social media. Put simply, trampolining is great for your mental health.

AirHop’s fun-packed activities come in all shapes and sizes, and its team of friendly and experienced staff are always on hand to engage, enthuse, and supervise groups to ensure that everyone has as much fun as possible and leaves with a huge smile on their face.
