Welcome to the MRVR Outdoor Education Centre!
Offering educational courses in the heart of Northern Thailand
The Maekok River Village Outdoor Education Centre opened its doors in 2000 and since then has established a reputation as a provider of high quality programmes which more than satisfy the varying and demanding requirements of international schools.
The centre is co-owned and managed by Bryan and Rosie Massingham, themselves ex-international school teachers and during their teaching career had extensive experience in organising numerous overseas school trips. They therefore fully understand the intricate needs of the visiting schools and the importance of getting everything right.
Every year, more than 2,500 students and teachers from schools around the world come to participate in activities which cover a range of curricular areas ‘beyond the classroom’. A list of all 140 or so schools which have been to the centre is available on request.
We offer:

Adventurous activities
Archery, biking, climbing, expeditions (AYP/DoE), hiking, kayaking, rafting, ropes courses, bushcraft skills, as well as team and leadership challenges.

Community Projects
Which involve construction projects to improve conditions in local schools, as well as English teaching and general interaction with local students.

Cultural Activities
Buddhism, meditation, local ethnic minority studies as well as activities such as Thai cookery, vegetable and fruit carving, basketry and umbrella painting.

Fieldwork
We cover several curriculum areas from junior to IB / A-level work. These include: Biology, Business Studies, Environmental Studies, History and Geography.

Wider Trips
The area also lends itself to general visits to places of diverse interest. These can either be informal ‘look-see’ visits, or could be more a formal information gathering experience.

From restaurant etiquette to medical services - we've got it covered!
