Class Retreats and School Camps | Four elements

Class Retreats and School Camps (Grades 4 -12)

Whether you’re looking for adventure, community-building, action, connection to nature or creative activities, we tailor make school camps and retreats to fit your group, community, and themes.

In the Bavarian Alps, we have lakes, mountains, rivers, forest on our doorstep and a wide adventure menu to cater for every taste. Upon request, we also travel further afield to lead or set up activities.

We work with international schools locally and internationally to deliver high-quality, enjoyable, and memorable experiences for your students and school trip leaders.

Leave the planning, logistics, and organisation to us, while we challenge, encourage, and inspire young minds to challenge themselves and grow.

Together, let's make extraordinary adventures a reality!

Locations

Accommodation

Camp base is the ground rock of a successful trip. Our accommodation are carefully selected to ensure a comfortable, accessible and welcoming stay. We place great value on having activities on the doorstep and having safe and fun spaces for downtime and play.

We also know that teachers need a good night’s sleep - therefore we organise single ensuite rooms where possible.

Upon request, we also can incorporate a night in a mountain hut! This is a great opportunity to get deeper into nature and experience alpine culture first hand. Accommodation here is a more basic experience. We take care of the logistics to ensure that sleeping arrangements are suitable (separate sleeping areas for staff, students etc)
