About

MonLife Outdoor Education offers a broad range of outdoor activities in the SE Wales area. Most courses are residential of 3 to 5 days duration. Annually we deliver around 17,000 user days both residentially and as single day visits.

We can offer pupils a range of experiences of outdoor and environmental activities of increasing challenge throughout their school career, covering a spread of National Curriculum, A level /GCSE courses and personal and social development.
