Our JCA instructors are the cherries on the cake when it comes to our residential trips. They are there with your group for the duration of your stay, and work hard to ensure the safety and inclusion of your students in every activity they experience onsite.
We caught up with some of our dream team to learn a little more about them and their take on activity residentials.

Activity centre: Condover Hall
How long have you worked with JCA?
About 1 and a half years, almost 2!
What are the benefits of an activity residential for students?
It gives students a sense of adventure and they get to try different things. It gets them out of their comfort zones and is important for development. Plus, they get to embrace being outside the classroom!
What do you love about JCA?
I love the vibe of the activity centre and how friendly all the staff are. I love doing all the activities in my free time, especially watersports activities on the lake.
Fun fact: I can do a pretty sick worm!

What are the benefits of an activity residential for students?
When students get out of the classroom and dive into adventure, it gives them the opportunity to come out of their shells, as well as self-exploration by facing their fears and breaking boundaries.
What do you love about JCA?
I can’t think of a single thing, I love everything about working and living here at Condover Hall. It is an inclusive site where anyone, regardless of their background, can come together and have a great time.
Fun fact: I can do a headstand!
