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.
We run fantastic activities during the school holidays, all staffed by experienced, qualified instructors. Archery, bushcraft, skiing, ropes courses, rock climbing, watersports and multi-activity days!
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…

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 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.
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
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.
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.
