Welcome to the Devon School Games Event hosted by Active Devon and the Devon School Games Organisers. We aim to provide every child with a positive experience in an environment where the young person’s motivation, competence and confidence are at the centre of everything we do.

Brief Description of the Event

This event is designed to support children in Year 7 that are finding transition to secondary school a challenge. In a safe environment outside in nature, we will help them to develop their teamwork skills. They will build friendships with peers from their school and confidence to engage in physical activity.

  • The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games themed orienteering
  • Den Building
  • Teambuilding
