Building Your Trip
Our instructors will liaise with you to ensure the activities meet the requirements of the national curriculum, providing fun and educational outdoor activities appropriate to key stage 2, 3 and 4.
Based in the Peak District, it is easy for us to tailor the course to fit in subjects such as PE where we can look at climbing skills, balance and co-ordination, water sports and navigation.
We can also build in numeracy, literacy, problem solving and topic work such as water and the environment as the Centre borders a Site of Special Scientific Interest at Upper Longdendale, Special Protection Area and Brockholes Wood Nature Reserve.
Courses can be linked to outcomes such as The Duke of Edinburgh's Award or DfE Activity Passport.
Tailored to Meet Your Needs
The Centre offers full or part week residential outdoor activity programmes or a daily activity programme.
The programme can include evening activities however, you may wish to use this time to undertake your own activities or reflections to support cross curriculum activity.
Why choose Crowden for your pupils?

- It is a chance for them to learn “lifeskills” outside the boundaries of a classroom
- It is an opportunity for them to broaden their horizons and take part in activities that they may not ordinarily do
- Staying away from home allows children to get away from their immediate environment and opens up a variety of new experiences and learning opportunities
- It enables children to return to the classroom with a new found sense of confidence, self awareness and an increased willingness to try something new
