Residential courses and day visits at our stunning venue.
A study camp at Bowles provide a perfect opportunity to get out of the classroom and into the outdoors during the run up the Year 6 SATs tests.
Looking for some team building, problem solving outdoor fun at school? Our In-School Team will arrive at school in the morning and run a range of interactive team building activities. This can be done on a sports field or suitable…
Active days outdoors are the perfect way to say congratulations, thank you and to wish a fond farewell to a class or year group, particularly towards the end of the summer term.
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 also show the grade.
Sounds maps are a great activity which can be done just about anywhere.
As a follow up to our rock climbing courses, we have created this post to remind people of some of the skills taught on the course.

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
Excellent Activities. The centre staff are very patient with the children, taking time to make them feel valued. Bowles really values their environment and the people who come to stay in it. The whole centre has a lovely feel to it and delivers high quality educational experience to the children. Thank you.
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.
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!
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
Pinnacle has a very well established relationship with the Bowles Rocks Trust. I enjoy taking groups of Managers and their teams along to their lovely facility on a regular basis; often these groups are very diverse and have not necessarily worked together before, but the integration process we go through is extremely effective. The L&D team are totally client focussed, and the food is great too! Highly recommended!
