To create a sense of connection between today’s students and life here in Great Britain both during and after the end of World War Two, throughout this 75th Anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, X Platoon have created a fully immersive, residential experience enabling young people to truly engage with history.
We are inviting schools and other centres of learning to bring their students to X Platoon for a 3 Day and 2 Night Residential Experience. Upon reaching our countryside base they will be given tasks and responsibilities befitting of children during WW2. They will learn the necessary and invaluable skills required to survive, and succeed, using very limited resources.

The ultimate objective of our VE Day Experience is to foster in our children the importance of self reliance, independence, ambition, motivation and resilience. At the heart of our experience X Platoon will work toward building up your children's confidence, allowing them to take ownership of their lives and have more responsibility for their thoughts, actions and emotions. Our schedule has been designed to reawaken independence within our children with the aim of helping them - through self reliance - to realise their ability in overcoming any problem, hurdle, set back or disappointment that life will present to them.
