What Schools Say
Wilsons Hospital School
Thank you so much for the fantastic field study. Even with the weather our students learned so much and really enjoyed themselves. The knowledge and enthusiasm shown by you really motivated the students. We couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and will look forward to returning next year."
St. Columba's College
"Thank you both and your amazing team for such a wonderful evening yesterday. It was really great. Everyone loved it - such good memories were made. "
Joe Houghton, Director & Asst Professor UCD Smurfit
Learning in a "playful" environment is a very powerful mode of operation, and it was clear watching Emma and Louise that they are highly experienced at running, adjusting and maximizing the positive outcomes from this type of activity. I would strongly recommend Branch Out to any class or team. "
