Residential Trips at Wellington College Bangkok
At Wellington College International School Bangkok we believe in the importance of Residential trips. They are a core part of our curriculum – and lots of fun!
All year groups from Year 4 upwards have the opportunity to explore the outdoors and experience new adventures. We often work with experienced partners such as JUMP! Foundation to ensure our trips provide meaningful learning experiences as well as exciting activities.
Students may be away for two, three or four nights and the programmes vary depending on the year group. Accommodation may include camping, lodges, hotels or resorts, and some trips combine several different experiences.
Outdoor Learning and Adventure
A typical day may include outdoor games and learning new practical skills such as pitching tents, cookery or arts and crafts. Activities may also include watersports such as kayaking, rafting and swimming, alongside hiking, climbing and caving.
Students enjoy campfires, BBQs, marshmallow toasting and storytelling, and may also take part in meditation and self-reflection sessions. These experiences help students build valuable life skills, strengthen friendships and develop confidence.
Residential trips also allow students to see their teachers in a different light, strengthening relationships and learning beyond the classroom.
Student Experiences
We keep our students safe at all times and adhere to our usual safeguarding standards. Residential trips are charged separately from normal tuition fees. Parents are invited to attend a planning workshop and will have the opportunity to review the full itinerary in advance.
