What a fantastic week with three super schools making the most of Bowles outdoor activities in the water, on the rocks, on the slopes and by a fire in the woods. click the pic for more!
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.
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.
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
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!
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 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
