​

All our activities are designed to educate outside the classroom and inspire children to try more, do more and achieve more - regardless of academic or physical ability.

​

All-year-round outdoor education: We believe the sooner young people can get outdoors, the better. That’s why we are open all year-round, come rain or shine.

​

Proper, unique adventures with qualified instructors: Our instructors are vastly experienced and qualified. They tailor every single session to the group to ensure your students undergo safe, proper and beneficial adventures.

Accommodation, catering and transport: Two canvas tented villages, a residential bunkhouse, a dedicated catering team and a fleet of minibuses.

​

Our own 250-acre site: Our private site, just outside Bristol 5 minutes from the M5, features target sports ranges, a snowsports slope, an ancient woodland, a private rocksports quarry and an onsite cave. Our watersports site is a short drive away.

​

A rich successful history: Nearly four decades ago, our very first client was a school and we haven’t looked back since!
