Purely for teachers, our Pembrokeshire adventure is a jam-packed itinerary of activities and socialising in the great outdoors. You’ll unplug, relax and be completely immersed in nature - this is one of the most incredible coastlines there is, so get ready; jump in the ocean, hike, sail, eat and drink! Designed by teachers, for teachers, this is a chance to mingle with like-minded individuals, earn valuable CPD, try new activities, enjoy some guest speakers and share best practices - all hosted by us!
“The weekend itinerary was really well organised. The Flooglebinder team are so friendly and made everyone feel welcome and included. Their enthusiasm and passion for what they do is infectious! It was such a brilliant weekend and I loved having the opportunity to try out coasteering without our school group watching! Thank you SO much!”
On this 3 day adventure in South Wales, you’ll be immersed in all things wildlife, conservation and sustainability.
Strictly for teachers, this is a chance to grab your team and head out on an adventure weekend in a stunning natural environment.

We’ll push your boundaries with some team activities, so be prepared to get stuck in! You’ll meet some awesome people, laugh A LOT and if teacher-mode creeps in, there will be opportunities to grab some useful tips on how to plan a study trip for your students that has purpose and impact. It’s a jam-packed few days that won’t be forgotten!
