“As Leader of Expeditions at a prestigious international school I chose Philip and his company to accompany 50 students and staff down the Ardèche. We were so pleased with the organisation, the humour and professionalism of the group we decided to make it an annual trip each time with a different group of students. Each time we were very happy and can highly recommend Phil and his organisation.”

“I have taken children from 8-12 years old on adventure holidays run by Philip and his team. The staff are always highly professional, dynamic and truly wonderful role models. The children loved every single moment of their adventures and I could see their physical and personal growth as a result of the experiences they had. They were safe in the hands of the experienced staff and maybe just as importantly had brilliant fun! ”
Christine Barling
Sotogrande International School
Over the last twelve years, Philip and his team of instructors have provided a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience” to my pupils. Year after year, new groups came back to West London from the Ardèche to share the most amazing stories with the school community about their week-long outdoor adventure. The exceptional quality of programmes combined with high-quality pedagogy Phil has offered our school has always been exceptional.
His camps have equipped our young people with skills for life and have instilled in them a love of the great outdoors.”
