Challenge Your Students

Unforgettable outdoor adventure that builds teamwork, confidence, and leadership on the River Shannon.

For over 20 years, Gaisce has been a cornerstone of secondary school life, with thousands of students working toward their Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards. At Shannon River Adventure, we make the Adventure Journey component of the Gaisce program exciting and stress-free.

Choose from tailored expeditions: a two-day, one-night trip for Bronze participants, or a three-day, two-night adventure for Silver Award students. Want to make it even more memorable? Add an extra night for additional activities or combine Bronze and Silver participants for a shared, team-building experience.

Students aiming for the Gold Award can contact us directly to plan a bespoke adventure that meets their goals.
