Learn to ski at Bowles. We have a packed programme of courses, private lessons and open sessions for all ages, from beginners to advanced, throughout the winter.

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.

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 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!
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
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.
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.
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.
