RESIDENTIAL COURSES

Residential Adventure Courses at Water Park Mansion

Discover a truly transformative adventure. Our bespoke 2- and 5-day residential courses are designed to help develop independence, build confidence, teamwork,  and create lasting friendships through exciting outdoor activities.

Led by highly experienced and qualified tutors', our tailored courses ensure you get the most from every experience, whether it's developing teamwork, stepping out of your comfort zone, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature. We focus on personal growth, teamwork, and outdoor skills in a stunning, peaceful setting.

Join us for an unforgettable adventure where visitors leave not only with new skills, but a renewed sense of confidence and connection.
