Belgian Ardennes — Bouillon & the Semois Valley with your class
The programme moves through four completely different registers across four days: tree-top adventure circuits and a torchlit castle on Day 1; karting, a forest walk to the Belvédère viewpoint, and a cinema evening on Day 2; compass orienteering followed by kayaking on the Semois on Day 3; and the Euro Space Center on the final morning before heading home.
On the Move is the officially accredited school trips provider for the European Schools in Belgium — every trip has a dedicated project manager with 24/7 emergency support.
