🌊 What a way to finish an incredible week in Spain! 🇪🇸⚽

Before beginning their journey home, the Lift Tendring students enjoyed a fantastic day at Water World in Lloret de Mar, taking on thrilling waterslides, relaxing in the wave pools, and making the most of the Spanish sunshine. ☀️

From football fixtures and training sessions to cultural visits, team bonding and unforgettable experiences, SportsFest has been packed with memories that will stay with students for years to come.

A huge well done to all the students and staff who made the trip such a success

🌊 Final Tour Update: Splashing into the Journey Home! 🚌🎒
What an unbelievable end to an unforgettable week! For our final day before heading back to the UK, we hit Water World in Lloret de Mar! 🤽‍♂️☀️
The students had an absolute blast braving the massive waterslides, relaxing in the wave pools, and soaking up the last of the Spanish sunshine. It was the perfect, high-octane way to wrap up the trip. 🏄‍♂️💦
We are now officially dried off, packed up, and on our way home. The coach is filled with tired faces, amazing memories, and a lot of very sleepy football stars.
Thank you to all the parents for following our journey, and a massive well done to the students for being such fantastic ambassadors for Lift Tendring. See you all very soon! 🇬🇧❤️

Thank you Julia Buckley MP for visiting Activ4 alongside ABTOT Limited and for supporting educational travel and local businesses.

It was great to discuss the value of outbound travel, the opportunities school trips create for young people, and the importance of supporting the wider travel industry.

We appreciate the continued support for businesses within the educational travel sector.

It was a pleasure to visit Activ4 in Battlefield, Shrewsbury—an outstanding local tour operator providing 24/7 support for teachers and students across the region.

Activ4 specialises in bespoke school trips, ski excursions, and educational tours, playing a vital role not only in supporting our young people’s learning experiences, but also in contributing to the strength of our local economy.

During my visit with the UK Outbound Travel Group, we discussed the wider importance of outbound travel—an industry worth over £80 billion annually to the UK and supporting around 800,000 jobs nationwide. Small businesses like Activ4 are at the heart of this success.

It’s vital we continue to support enterprises like Activ4 as they navigate ongoing challenges and continue delivering high-quality opportunities for our young people.

If you’re organising a youth trip or educational visit, I encourage you to support local. You can contact Activ4 at https://activ4.com.
