Inspiration for far too many people aged 14+

[pickledHAN]

Hi All

With a voluntary hat on, am trying to come up with ideas for a European, budget trip for potentially a few hundred young people. (Without saying I am a fool!)

Anyone heard of anywhere massive, within a stones throw of an airport and under say £200 for a weekend?

Have tried to come up with ideas - current thoughts include something based on a board game (monopoly, cluedo, something else?) spa break, adventure trip, making a film or song, arrg running out of ideas!!

So, if anyone has any thoughts, ideas or suggestions, woudl love to hear them (flying/ travelling from someonwhere central in the North East (Leeds, Newcastle etc) with people coming from all over.

Hoping some virtual inspiration may help!

Thanks

How about camping in northern france? those eurocamp places where the stuff is all there. That way you could budget for a cheap flight, a coach other end to campsite, and lots of onsite facilities and leisure activities...

ooh like the thought of a campsite where everything is there!!

Have you been somewhere like this?

They could then do a kind of treasure hunt activity in teams, based on local historical/significant stuff. Normandy has all the ww2 history, and well as the norman stuff. HIre bikes for the week and really let them gain independence?

suppose the advantage of France is that most of them will have a smattering of French from school..

Not personally, but they are very well established. Eurocamp is one company, I'm sure there are others. they are often in the grounds of a chateau etc...give them a google.

probably less of the ww2 stuff but like the idea of bike hire (would cut down on travel/underground costs - thanks)

I'm pretty sure some of the budget air companies fly to Normandy, I think Rennes?
