Releasing Potential Outdoor Education

Our Outdoor Education programmes enable young people to view themselves in a new light and have a realistic understanding of their potential within the context of the activities. Young people have the opportunity to gain nationally-recognised awards in sports and other pursuits, validating their learning and empowering them to continue enjoying activities that promote an active lifestyle and positive change.

As a Centre of Excellence for outdoor education, we offer a huge range of activities to young people. These include, but are not limited to, abseiling, archery, bushcraft, canoeing, expeditions, indoor and outdoor climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, navigation, orienteering, power boating, raft building, coastal rowing, paddle-boarding, rope courses, sailing and team building.

We run National Governing Body accredited programmes with the British Canoe Union, National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme, Royal Yachting Association, Mountainbike Instructors Award Scheme, and National Navigation Award Scheme. We offer a range of activities to external groups, including through our Sailing Academy, and Duke of Edinburgh expeditions.
