School trips used to mean a visit to the library or a geography field trip in the Yorkshire Dales.
Not any more.
Young adventurers from Salendine Nook High School are bound for North Africa and Morocco - and will include a trek up the highest peak in North Africa.
The teenagers, who have each had to raise £1,800, will attempt to scale Mount Toubkai, which is in southwestern Morocco, and rises to 4,167 metres (13,671 ft) in the Atlas Mountains.
It is a peak located 63 km south of the city of Marrakesh, in the Toubkal National Park, and is a popular destination for climbers.
The party from Salendine Nook leave Britain on July 16 and comprises 22 Year 10 and 11 students.
They will be accompanied by four members of staff.
In addition to the mountain climb, the youngsters will get the chance to explore Marrakech, a city famed for its souks and exotic markets.
One of the teachers, Joe Flaherty, said: “It is a two-week expedition for the pupils who will have some time in Marrakech before the four-day trek climbing up Mount Toubkai.
“The pupils will then travel to two separate projects where they will take part in community-based project work, in a local school and in a village.
“It is the most adventurous the school has ever organised. It is costing each pupil £1,800 and they have had two years to raise the full amount. We booked it so early in advance so the pupils had a lot of time to raise the money.
“A lot of the pupils have raised the total themselves. We have organised some events through school like a race night, sponsored walks and in school events to help the pupils but the majority of the work has been done by the pupils.
“It came about because we wanted a trip that would really challenge the pupils and put them outside their comfort zone and with the emphasis on them to raise the money we thought they would get a real sense of accomplishment at the end of the expedition.
“While on expedition the pupils are in complete control of the budget and have to source food, transport and accommodation throughout for the whole group. We are hoping the life skills they develop while on the trip will benefit them for a long time and give them a real boost before going to college, work and university.
“The pupils have worked extremely hard over the last two years to raise money for the trip and staff member Craig Fentoj had put in an awful lot of work before the event.
“We are also grateful to Joe Gratino Builders who have sponsored tee-shirts for the students”.
