“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.
Our In-School Team will arrive at your school in the morning and run a range of team building activities. This can be done on a sports field or even in a large indoor area. Your Bowles instructor will coordinate the…

In 2014 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of becoming the Bowles Rocks Trust, an outdoor charity supporting young people. The aim was to have an inspired year, raising money, having fun and trying out new adventures and we achieved all three. …
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!
There is absolutely no doubt that I would actively suggest BOC as a venue for programmes for clients in the SE who did not wish to travel to Herefordshire or Devon or even overseas! Your infrastructure, flexibility and professionalism are head and shoulders above so many other activity centres you should be justifiably proud

We’ve had an amazing time. Thank you for looking after us so well. The food was amazing too!
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!
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.
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
