Island Expedition
ISLAND EXPEDITION
Whilst voyaging across the Indian Ocean, our survivors came across an island that couldn’t be found on any of their maps. They realise that this could be an undiscovered island, and that finding and sharing it with the rest of the world could be HUGE, not to mention what they could find there. An Island Paradise? Buried Treasure?
During this ‘’too good to be true’’ adventure, expedition leaders (Ultimate Survival Instructors) warn the survivors that they may not be the only ones to know of this island, and as a result, they’ll need to defend themselves, and be prepared for a pirate invasion that could strike at any time….
What will they be doing?
In order to share this potentially ground-breaking discovery, they must first explore the island and all it has to offer. Over the course of the week, survivors will master how to make camp on a desert island by building shelters and raised bunks to sleep on. They’ll discover how to forage, cook, and even make their own resources from the island such as making rope and fishing spears!
Sample Timetable
New for 2026
You will see on the timetable above* that we have a number of new activities as part of our Island Expedition programme for 2026, bringing the theme to life and offering new challenges to children who have attended in the past. Just look for ⭐ activities!
⭐ Treasure Raid: Experience exciting wide-area games, such as obstacle-style races where teams search the island for hidden tokens or shipwreck supplies, while dodging roaming patrols. Points are earned through teamwork and smart strategy, not just speed
⭐ Castaway Charcoal Creations: Children will craft their own charcoal drawing pencils from willow and create a custom holder, just like real island survivors making their own tools!
⭐ Tropical Sun Cooker : Using the power of the sun, children will learn about energy, teamwork, and problem-solving while having fun creating mini ovens safely in the woodland
⭐ Island Escape Launch: The explorers are stranded and need to launch “signal rockets” to get the attention of passing ships or aircraft!
*Please note the timetabled activities vary for Eltham College in Bromley - please see their location page for info!
