Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre has been awarded the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge.

As part of your P.E or Outdoor Education lessons we can organise safe, fun and progressive series’ of sessions that work towards nationally recognised certificates and qualifications.

At Shadwell Basin we offer a large range of activities including; Canoeing, Kayaking, Bellboating, Sailing, High Ropes, Climbing, Rowing, Mountain Biking and Orienteering.

We can tailor make a schedule of activities across a term or year. This could include taster sessions in all of the activities we offer, focusing on fun, confidence, independence and team work.

Depending on the needs of the students, you can pick a single or a few sports that allow everyone in the group to learn a new skill whilst developing their psychological and physical strengths.
