Our Outdoor Adventure Zone which includes a Sky Trail high ropes course, mini golf and mini ECombat

Using the National Water Sports Centre gives your school an opportunity to challenge its pupils, as well as incorporating adventurous activities as part of the wider school curriculum. Sporting activities promote life skills, increase social values, encourage healthy behaviour and team work. Educational talks about health and wellbeing in sport are also available.

A range of water or land-based accredited training courses are also on offer to develop the skills and confidence of young people. These are carried out by fully qualified instructors from accredited by National Governing Bodies.
