Outdoor activities and team building (July 2024)

Any sort of team building activities this venue is good for (July 2024 - Secondary School)

Great activities, and very good food. Friendly and helpful staff, and a lovely venue. It was challenging for children to use showers and toilets at times because there were so many children on site. There was also a stomach bug going around, which affected the children's confidence and enjoyment, though we have not udentified the origin of the bug as yet. (June 2024 - Primary School)

Excellent venue for a residential. Staff are extremely helpful and instructors were very clear and safe whilst being kind and fun with the children. Food and organisation were excellent too - senior staff were very supportive when we had a few poorly children. (June 2024 - Primary School)

Exceptional experience for all involved. Children developed their resilience, team building skills and communication skills as well as developing independence being away from their families. Would highly recommend Essex Outdoors Mersea. Our pupils always love the experience and come home equipped with further skills. (July 2021 - Primary School)

The team of instructors at Essex Outdoors Mersea worked well to engage the children. They acknowledged children's experiences and reservations in some activities and worked with them to support. (June 2021 - Primary School)

An excellent site with excellent instructors. There were a few issues with some accomodation (smoke alarms going off and then not being fixed, resulting in them going again, some buckled doors that were very difficult to shut/lock). Overall, a very good trip. (May 2021 - Primary School)

Despite our children enjoying their stay at Mersea, we as a staff had a number of reservations about our stay. 1. Lack of shower and toilet facilities - Adult staff (including Mersea instructors) had to share only two showers and the location of the toilet block was not ideal, particularly when children needed the toilet in the middle of the night. 2. Poor security - On entering the site, there is no security barrier. Also cabins would benefit from a simple twist lock (on the inside) rather than a key (particularly as only one key was available) because children struggled to lock and unlock their cabin door. Due to this, children had to leave their cabins unlocked all night. 3. Secondary school children - We were informed that it was the first time that secondary and primary school visitors had been mixed in the week we were staying. Unfortunately, a number of secondary school children were using foul language outside of our cabins late at night and were unsupervised by their visit leaders. A number of the children from the same school were also physical towards our children in the toilets and we therefore informed Mersea staff about both of these incidents.
