Our In-School Team will arrive at your school in the morning and set up a range of interactive team building activities each requiring different skills.
Core skills:
The pictures are from Right to Left as this is how the crag is approached. The bouldering grades are in Font grades. The text describes some of the harder bouldering problems. The coloured lines show the grade as well. Green…

100% of the profit generated by Bowles Learning & Development is donated to the Bowles Rocks Trust for the provision of educational programmes for young people
10/10 for educational value, with particular reference to the use of growth mindsets, plus the best food I have ever had in all my years of organising residential trips.
The ethics of Bowles also sat well with our core aims – we strive to be innovative leaders of change but with a sense of community responsibility and a desire to contribute in some way and with the charitable trust receiving all the profits from events like ours, we felt it was a small way in which we could make a difference. We had such an eventful programme that we are now planning future events with the team at Bowles!
Just had the most amazing week with 28 incredible, little people… Taken away as children, returning as young adults. Thank you Bowles Outdoor Centre – you are amazing people, educating in an amazing place – you facilitated some great memories and life changing moments; many engraved on the heart forever – Teacher bursting with total pride 😊 Well done Our Lady of Sion Junior Year 6 – you did yourselves and us proud xxx
We feel the weekend has been particularly effective in developing teamwork and encouraging greater degrees of co-operation and communication amongst our new 6th formers. We have appreciated the high levels of skill and expertise of the Bowles team. The weekend has met our objectives well.
The great thing about Bowles is that it offers an outstanding opportunity to explore learning in an exciting, yet comfortable, environment. The facilitation is excellent and the food is fabulous! Through working with Bowles we are able to provide the opportunity for leaders in our business to explore the impact they have on others and practise the learning in a challenging and safe environment. We really get results!
The whole staff are SO good with the children. They gain so much from the experience. Thanks to the whole team, cleaners, cooks and office staff that make the Bowles experience so good for everyone.
