Perfect for an end of year treat, a team building challenge or an evening out with your youth group. Led by an instructor, you’ll learn the basics of the activity and then you’ll get stuck in with games and challenges. All equipment provided.
We can deliver activities at our centre as well as along the Jurassic Coast. This includes Portland Harbour, Weymouth Bay and the Isle of Purbeck.
The outdoor education coaches can design program to enhance and support your curriculum and help you to achieve your specified aims. Attend a half day, full day, or visit us over a regular weekly slot to allow for progression and build resilience.
Choose from an extensive range of activities from land or water.
Choose from indoor options such as team games and traversing in the hall though to navigating the indoor tunnels by head torch. Taking one step outdoors, you can stay on site but get the feel of adventure and climb the Portland stone tower or test your fire lighting skills with a spot of Bushcraft. For those wanting to head out in our minibuses and explore, we offer rock hopping and sea cliff climbing in Portland too.
If the water is calling, why not opt for an activity on the sea and choose giant paddleboarding as a team, or tandem kayaking to test your coordination. Maybe you want to raise the excitement factor and test your balance on the stand-up paddleboards, or jump off Portland Bill with a sport of coasteering.
