As well as having fun, we aim to provide outdoor activities within a framework which gives young people opportunities and experiences to take responsibility, make decisions and work together. This all happens in a safe and supportive environment with activities designed to provide progressive learning, thus helping  young people to equip themselves with skills for life through direct experience.

Personal Development Courses

We specialise in development courses for Schools, Colleges and Universities. Courses include:
• Working with others
• Working in teams
• Communication
• Problem Solving
• Improving own learning and performance

Outdoor activities are combined with practical initiative and communication exercises to form a balanced and enjoyable programme. These programmes allow more time for reflection and recognition of personal and team development. Courses can run between 1 and 5 days in duration and are based around challenging and rewarding activities and exercises. Courses can be provided at Brenscombe, or if you prefer, we can travel to your location.
