Perlethorpe Environmental Education Centre School Trip
Notts Outdoors
We will work alongside schools to ensure that all groups get a quality residential experience. All of our programmes are delivered by experienced and fully qualified instructors. We are more than happy to 'tweak' our programmes to suit the needs of the visiting group.
The location of this centre is very central to all main routes and we are 10 minutes away from the A1.
For the camping residentials we have four large tents for children which can sleep up to 16 and one large tent for adults can have up to 6 bedrooms inside.
