Outdoor Classroom

Rhyd-y-creuau offers a wide range of courses from the young to the young at heart. These incorporate a wide diversity of local sites from Snowdon, Morfa Harlech to Llanrwst and Betws-y-Coed. We run courses for Key Stage 2 up to University courses. Our AS and A-Level courses are very popular. All are tailored to meet the individual needs and specifications of the trip, whether it is Geography or Biology. We also run teacher training days for local schools, such as Sustainability Workshops linking these themes to National Curriculum and your program.

FSC Programmes
