We focus on both activity skills and personal development so pupils get a a well rounded educational experience whilst having fun, trying new activities and feeling great about the challenges they have overcome and the new skills they have learned.
A course at Bowles benefits from a unique range of challenging outdoor activities, an inspirational setting, well designed facilities and most important of all, our dedicated, experienced and caring staff team.
Outdoor learning in a beautiful venue
So much of life is now virtual or synthetic that children can miss out on many things of real importance – real experiences, real activities, real relationships and real food!

Children’s development
A child’s development at Bowles comes not just through the adventurous activities, but through learning to work as part of a team, communicating with others, assessing risks and making decisions for themselves. Our low staff ratios, small group sizes, and staff continuity mean that we can focus on bringing out the best in every young person.
Learning outside the classroom
Bowles champions high quality learning outside of school for all young people. We also work with school staff and their management and leadership teams to help them create the best staff teams possible. Inset days are excellent opportunities to inspire your team at Bowles, fuelled by our home cooked food.
