ECO ADVENTURE
Outdoor Activities and Team Building
Eco Adventure activities are designed to gain confidence
and promote team building skills for all age groups. They
have proved very popular with Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3,
especially as a Year 7 introductory course.
Each activity is taught as a half day or evening session
(depending on time of year).
Courses can be built entirely around Eco Adventure or
integrated with science and/or geography fieldwork.
The majority of our adventure activities are based in the
Centre grounds.
