Our outdoor leaning and outdoor adventure courses are hugely popular, with over 50 returning schools, scouts and youth groups every year. We combine our unique and professional approach to outdoor learning, the environment and education with your input and objectives, to create the programme you want, every time.
Our qualified and experienced instructors will deliver the perfect programme of outdoor learning activities, designed with your input. Our programmes can be delivered from one to seven days.
With activity venues throughout South Devon, our outdoor adventure courses can be run from a half or full day activities to seven days and can include overnight mini camping and bushcraft expeditions in canoes or by foot. We can provide daytime and/or evening activities and team building as part of your adventure activities visit.
Activities include a range of water sports, bushcraft and campcraft skills, archery, rock activities, orienteering and navigation and team building challenges.
Join us at our brand new purpose build activity village, where we have based many of our most popular activities, all on one site. Located just outside of Chudleigh, the activity village is centrally located and in easy reach of the A38.
Activites available within the site include bushcraft and campcraft, including overnight camps, archery, air rifles, climbing tower, zip wire and high ropes course. Do as many of these in one day as you can!
We aim to provide the best quality affordable adventure weeks and residential courses available. We work with many different accommodation providers in South Devon, to offer residential courses to suit all budgets and boarding options. From adventure weeks in self-catering bunkhouses on Dartmoor, to catered private accommodation, there is an option for every budget and residential experience.
Your tailored residential courses can combine indoor and outdoor day activities from morning until lights out!!
If transporting pupils is difficult or expensive, we can transport our day activities to you! Activities we can provide at your site can cover education, team building and personal development and include bushcraft, campcraft, basic foraging skills, team challenges, archery and air rifles.
All activities are delivered in a completely safe manner and are run by our fully qualified and experienced staff.
One of our most popular day activities for schools, youth groups and scouts is our bushcraft and campcraft courses, which provide an ideal setting in which to work and learn together. Our open canoe and bushcraft courses combine fun to learn activities, personal development, physical activity and environmental education.
Bushcraft and campcraft courses can be run either on dry land, or we can take everything in our open canoes for a mini-expedition. Whether or land river based, these courses run in Devon from one to three days, or longer in the Wye Valley.
Why not go the whole way, do away with static accommodation and join us for an amazing mini expedition to the Wye Valley and at a price that is far less than you might think. Almost all of our activities can be combined with a canoe and bushcraft journey on the river Wye in South Wales.
Staying in our large canvas teepees which we can take with us on our journey, we become self-sufficient for the duration of our trip. Staying at well known campsites with good facilities, we will however never be too far from civilisation and a good shower!
