We are a leading schools and groups tour operator, established since 1994. In May 2006 we became part of First Choice Holidays PLC, which in 2007 successfully merged with the TUI Group to become TUI Travel PLC. We now sit in the Student Travel and Adventure Group (STAG) sector within TUI Travel.

During our very first season in 1995 JCA accommodated 17 groups, by contrast, in 2007 the total number of groups exceeded 350!

We are experts in providing residential activity courses for thousands of young people; promoting education, personal development and of course, fun! With 12 UK centres and over 50 land, environmental and water based activities, we offer tailor-made, unforgettable experiences provided by fully-qualified, enthusiastic instructors.

We cater for approximately 14,000 children every year and our centres are all located in impressive rural or coastal locations.

JCA courses can contribute to many areas of the National Curriculum especially Citizenship, Personal, Social and Health Education and groups can choose a course to meet their objectives.

We have 6 different courses;

• Action and Adventure - climbing, abseiling, archery, fencing and blind trail!
• Activity and Education - visits to some of the many interesting local attractions
• Eco-Challenge - explores environmental issues through fun, dynamic activities
• Survival - learning key survival skills - shelter building, navigation and first aid
• Watersports - combines Action and Adventure with water activities - surfing, canoeing, sailing
• Watersports Plus - a full water based course

Our aim is that the young people who visit our centres leave with great memories and the confidence to continue to try new things in their future!
