Multi-Activity Programmes Schools and Colleges

We offer a fantastic opportunity for your students to participate in our one, two or three-day multi-activity programmes that can be individually tailored to meet your needs.
Communication, decision-making, personal achievement and working as part of a team are all skills that will improve students learning, motivation and confidence back in the classroom. As the largest co-educational youth organisation in the United Kingdom, we are ideally placed to offer young people, from 6–25, fun and adventure in an informal educational setting.

Safety is paramount at Downe and our risk assessments and safety systems are well documented.

Each activity we offer has a number of learning outcomes for participants, view the learning outcome matrix and can be linked into the National Curriculum.

Participants follow our philosophy of ‘learning by doing’ and our qualified group leaders work directly with between 10 and 12 participants per group to achieve positive learning outcomes. It is our aim to make the experience as fun and exciting as possible.

We can create a unique programme for each and every group. Activities available include:
Climbing, orienteering, archery, crate stacking, rifle shooting, swimming, raft building, pedal go carts, Adventure course, team challenge, grass sledging, G8, hikes, environmental activities, open-fire cooking, zip wire and the new Aerial trek course.

Chris Johnson, Chilham School, Kent

Steve,

Now we have been back a week I have managed to get a spare minute to drop you an email. I wanted to say a big thank you on behalf of both the staff and pupils at Chilham School.

The hospitality shown by you and your team was brilliant and I know everyone who came had a week they will remember for many years. For many of our children, it was the first time they had experienced this type of environment and I am sure it will have a lasting impact on them.

Once again please pass on our gratitude and thanks to all your team.

We are intending to make our visit a regular event and will look to either alternate with another National Scout Activity Centre or even come every year.
