Cadzand & the Dutch Coast with your class
Students stay in a residential centre within easy reach of the beach and forest, with a packed programme of outdoor challenges, creative workshops, and nature exploration. The rotation between high-energy teambuilding days, a beach sports day, an unexpected Japanese arts workshop, and a guided wetland visit means the week never settles into a routine — every day brings something completely different.
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.
Trip highlights
Cycling to the beach for a full rotation of archery, archery tag, and beach football — a high-energy day on one of the Netherlands' finest stretches of North Sea coastline
A dedicated half-day of Taiko drumming, Sumi-e brush painting, and Kendo — an unexpected cultural counterpoint that consistently surprises and engages students
A guided visit to a protected coastal wetland reserve on the final morning, with expert-led discovery of local bird species and the North Sea tidal ecosystems
