Group Activities,Team Challenges, Team Building

Whether you are looking for a structured day leading to an award or a team building session, we are the ideal venue for your School or Group event. Give us a call to arrange a day (or half day) tailored to meet your needs.

Our sessions can be for fun or combined with a learning objective, the possibilities are only limited by the imagination.

  • Learn new skills
  • Build team spirit among your students
  • Use outdoor activities as a learning environment that develops effective group communication.
  • Work towards a National Governing Body Award, RYA or BCU, or a GCSE module.

 

Full days, half days or several days of activity sessions can be designed around your group and your aims.

Our most popular events are:

  • Canoeing or Kayaking – learn the basic skills then either spend time enhancing these skills or take a journey together on the lake
  • Group Canoe – our group canoes will each seat 8 -12 people and can be used for journeys on the lake, time trials or races.
  • Introduction to Sailing or Windsurfing – a fun exciting session and a great way to develop an interest in a new sport.
  • Raft Building – a great session where the group is split into teams, each team builds a raft from the equipment provided then races against the other teams!
  • Ghyll Scrambling (Canyoning) – a great team activity for schools and youth groups promoting group communication skills.
