“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.

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.
Vale School
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.

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.
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!
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
