“The course facilitator was excellent; he understood our goals and our business. We have converted the skills we learnt back into the workplace. The course has been a springboard to other targets and broken down lots of barriers.” Engineering Manager Gatwick Airport
The Bowles activity centre is a great place to take up a new outdoor activity. Our courses and lessons introduce thousands of adults and children to new activities each year.
Residential and day courses in a stunning venue with experienced instructors, a wide range of activities, great outcomes and excellent value for money.
We are passionate about the impact of outdoor learning on young people and about supporting young people to achieve their potential
Although our activities have a massive amount of inherent learning, it is important to remember that they are extremely good FUN. This is why they also make a wonderful end-of-term reward day for both primary schools and secondary schools.

From that very first visit, I thought ‘That’s it, I’m always coming to Bowles’ and since then I’ve used it for our Graduates, London and Regional teams, from senior management through to entry level graduates.

3 of my 4 daughters have had residential weeks at Bowles and the little one can’t wait. You give them an absolutely marvellous time – the week seems packed full of challenging activities, fun and adventure and each one has come home slightly changed by the experience – more confident, happy, settled and buzzing with tales of their experiences and team skills. Thank you. Merna

The site at Bowles provides an ideal location for our apprentices to investigate inter-personal skills they might not before have considered. We are looked after well with comfortable accommodation, great food and a knowledgeable tutor staff
The course facilitator was excellent. He understood our goals and our business. We have found that we have converted the skills we learnt back into the workplace. The course has been a springboard to other targets and broken down lots of barriers – I spoke to my colleagues more during our time at Bowles than I have over the last six months. We can’t wait to revisit!
