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.

Thank you very much for providing, year on year, exemplary outdoor education. The culture of learning is unique in a beautiful and very well maintained setting. An excellent mix of safe and inspirational, life-changing risk taking with a sense of achievement and purpose.
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 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!
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.
Always excellent communication, always flexible, always accommodating of late/last minute changes, always friendly, welcoming and professional.
We’ve had an amazing time. Thank you for looking after us so well. The food was amazing too!
