We deliver a variety of physical outdoor activities, from climbing on both artificial indoor and artificial outdoor walls, to our local sandstone crag, high ropes, target sports, watersports and navigational sports. We aim to deliver to bespoke outcomes agreed with the school and it's participants in order for students to actively engage in their own development. We are providers of the National Navigation Award Scheme, Paddle UK awards and National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme, as well as activities at GCSE level.

With over fifty team building activities, we use progressive plan>do>review techniques to encourage team members to identify strengths of character and skill in their peers, recognise the benefit of diversity and inclusion, and apply learning in order to succeed. From mental to physical challenges, you can be sure that groups will leave cohesive and enlightened from our sessions.

We deliver a range of watersports on our reservoir, from kayaking, canoeing, rafted canoeing, paddleboarding (SUP) and MEGA SUP! Our qualified instructors offer a quality coaching experience ensuring well-rounded fun in a safe and relaxed environment.
