Activities and Programmes

The centre offers a wide range of activities that are all linked to the National Curriculum and GCSE and A-Level Specifications.

There are sites to visit locally which can be reached on foot, such as; Durlston Country Park, Peveril Point and Swanage bay and town.

Others are just a short coach ride away (approximately 15 minutes) including; Corfe castle, Studland bay and Old Harry Rocks, Langton Matravers (Putlake Farm) and Nine barrow Down.

Plus for the more adventurous you can go a little further to places such as Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, River Wey, Chesil Beach and Brownsea island.

Plus there are several activities that are based on site and in the classroom including; Team Challenge, Low Ropes, Forensics Science, land Yachts, Bush Craft and Survival Skills.

Activity Programmes for the week are planned in advance and aim to meet the individual schools needs. Follow the links for some example programmes. The centre is always happy to visit new sites and run new activities to meet with specific school requirements.
