We can accommodate 65+ students, spread across 2 wings of our building. We have additional accommodation for visit leaders. Sometimes we have two schools in the centre at time each with c30 students (in separate wings of the building).
We pride ourselves on delivering high quality outdoor learning, using an inspirational setting and the natural environment around us. We use the outdoor pursuit activities as vehicle for that learning. So whilst guests may learn to climb or canoe, they should also develop some key characteristics such a collaboration, persistence and resilience to help them in life (to name just a few).
Every program is designed and delivered to meet the groups needs. We employ well qualified, highly experienced instructors to facilitate our programs.
Our en-suite accommodation is modern, clean and welcoming. We have been here for over 30 years and recently spent £2.5million doing it up!
