Top School Trips -Issue 6

www.teachwire.net/school-trips | 37 What expertise do you have that visitors can draw on? AirHop Adventure & Trampoline Parks have successfully hosted thousands of school trips over the past 10 years. These have been delivered via a range of school-visit options, including sessions linked to key stage learning, PE/fitness sessions, rewards/ fun trips, leaver parties/proms, and team- building experiences. At AirHop, we have a team of friendly and experienced staff who are always on hand to enthuse, engage, and supervise school groups of any size. There is always at least one member of staff on site who is fully trained in first aid. What sets your venues apart? With 26 venues located around the UK, you are never too far from ultimate bouncing fun! Each of our parks offers a range of unique and exciting activities, and large groups of up to 275 children can be accommodated at some venues. Some AirHop parks have attractions that will put even more of a spring in your pupils’ step – for example, check out the giant AirSlides at Bristol, Blackpool and Chelmsford, or the Clip’n Climb zones at Esher, Guildford, Aberdeen and Chelmsford. Our Blackpool park even has an indoor cave system to explore and its very own bouldering wall! How do you like to work with visiting groups? Visiting school groups can choose from a selection of standard packages, or a bespoke session can be created to suit your requirements. At AirHop, we offer everything from free-range jumping and games right through to guided learning that’s designed to improve pupils’ coordination and balance.

Many teachers have shared their positive school trip experiences with us. “We were impressed by how AirHop’s activities promoted self-esteem and teamwork among our students,” one said. “They collaborated, supported each other, and grew in confidence throughout the day.” Another told us, “The PE sessions at AirHop were a hit – students got to stay active, have fun, and learn new skills in a dynamic environment. It was a refreshing change from traditional PE lessons.” And this review says it all: “Our school trip to AirHop Trampoline Park was a huge success. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the activities were engaging, and the students had a fantastic time. Thank you for providing us with such a memorable adventure!” What are the health benefits of trampolining? What better way to exercise than in a trampoline park! Trampolining isn’t just fun, it’s good for you too. In fact, bouncing is three times more effective at burning calories than jogging, while reducing the impact on joints and limbs. Research shows there is a positive link between physical activity and improved mental health – exercise reduces stress and releases the body’s feel-good chemicals. So a visit to AirHop is good for you all round.
