Years of experience working with children and adults of all abilites

We love what we do

Our activities are in the real outdoors.

Students experience real adventure in the mountains, moorland, lakes, rivers, woodlands, caves, and a historic coastline of North Yorkshire

Spending time in the real outdoors and learning about our environment is important.

If children don’t grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it. And if they don’t understand it, they won’t protect it. And if they don’t protect it, who will?  –  Sir David Attenborough

Activities from our Bewerley Park centre take place in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Yorkshire Dales

Activities from our East Barnby centre take place in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park

The right type of residential programme to support education based on…

  • classroom themes and goals
  • curriculum needs
  • classroom-based learning

You can choose from a range of programmes carefully designed by teachers for each key stage, using the great outdoors to make subjects come to life

Our programmes use specific activities and challenges to bring out the best learning outcomes for each age group by connecting classroom-based learning with outdoor education

We actively support learning opportunities and experiences helping young people grow and develop personally and socially, supporting the PSHE delivered in school

Depending on your aims and objectives, you can choose an activity-focussed programme or a bespoke subject-focussed programme

Where possible we always prioritise keeping the same lead instructor with the same group of 12 students throughout your residential
