Medina Valley Centre School Trips
Medina Valley Centre

Our activities are all designed to be accessible for groups of all ages and backgrounds. Through the booking process we will discuss with you what your group requires and tailor-build a program to suit your needs.

We have a wide range of activities available, including :

Water : Kayaking, Canoeing, Raft Building, Sailing

Land : Archery, Target shooting, Nightline, Team challenges

Orienteering, Scrapheap challenge, Circus skills

Mountain biking, Pioneering, Wide games


These exciting activities are usually instructed on a 1:8 ratio, with an instructor assigned to each group for the week. This allows each group to build a positive relationship with their instructor and enables us to provide top quality care and development for each individual.


We work hard to make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay at the Centre:

- Our chefs will tickle your taste buds with their wonderful home cooked meals, with dining in our main 90 seat dining room. Smaller groups may wish to look into self catering in our lodge accomodation.

- Our main building accommodation is split into 2 wings, each with capacity for 36 young people and up to 6 staff. The group rooms are comfortable bunk rooms with storage and sinks to make group management a breeze, and all of our staff bedrooms have en-suite facilities.

- Our spacious and comfortable main lounge has stunning views over the river, and is equipped with a pool table, table football and a well-stocked games cupboard

- Our Centre shop provides for those forgotten essentials and gifts to take home

Originally set up as The Christian Sailing Centre the founding Christian ethos is still strong to this day. This gives us our passion to provide top quality education as well as a positively developmental environment where young people feel they are valued for who they are.
Every group that comes to the Centre has a dedicated hosting team to look after you after the work of the day is done and in the mornings for the start of the day and breakfast.
