School trips

Full board with three meals and a snack each day, flights from the UK, transfers from the airport to camp, a planned programme and care day and night.

Yes. We hold ATOL number 12607, so flight-inclusive trips are financially protected. Ask us for our ATOL details and we will send them to you.
Do you work to LOtC standards?
We plan and run our trips to Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) standards. Ask us for our risk assessments and safety information to include in your visit approval.

How much does a school trip cost?
Prices start from £975 per student for 7 days. The final price depends on group size, dates and flights from your nearest airport. Ask us for a quote.
Who arranges passports and visas for students?
Schools and families are responsible for passports, visas and any other travel documents for their students. Go Sun Camps is not responsible for obtaining visas. Students of some nationalities may need a visa, so please check the requirements early. Contact us if you need information about the trip for an application.
How early should we book?
As early as you can. Many schools plan residentials a year ahead, and early enquiries give you the best choice of dates.

We can provide ATOL details, insurance information, risk assessments, staffing and safeguarding information and a pack for parents.
