Frequently asked questions

Why book a residential trip for your uniformed group?

Team building, life skills and fun underpin any uniformed group, which marry up perfectly with the ambition of our residential activity trips.

Can I request specific accommodation for our uniformed group?

If you’d like a specific accommodation block for your uniformed group to stay in, express your preference at the point of booking. Please note that your first choice may not always be possible, particularly during busy seasons.

Who will supervise the uniformed groups?

In terms of Kingswood staff, a responsible adult will always be present with each group, including a qualified instructor where appropriate.

Are meals included?

We can offer everything from buffets to working lunches, and even a bar service if required.

Can I preview the centre prior to my visit?

We are always happy to accommodate a preview of our centres. Please contact the centre you’re visiting to arrange a suitable date and time with the customer service department. Call our team on 0800 655 6564.

We are holders of the LOtC quality badge. This means you can be assured that we have met with required standards around safety, activity provision and learning outcomes. The Outdoor Education Advisers’ Panel endorses the LOtC Quality Badge and the majority of Local Authority Outdoor Education Advisers have indicated that they accept the award in place of some or all of their checks. You can view which Local Authority Outdoor Education Advisers support the LOtC Quality Badge by visiting the OEAP website here.

Funding & Support

We believe that outdoor adventure is for everyone - and that every young person should have the chance to experience a transformative residential trip. You can make an application to the Hardship Fund for Kingswood to fully fund up to 2 in 10 young people from your group to attend where their trip is at risk due to financial difficulties.
