What will students see and do?

Located on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, with 28 acres of beautiful countryside and a private section of the River Bure, Hautbois Activity Centre is an impressive 19th-century country house.

It makes for a great multi-purpose events venue, with over 25 years experience in delivering challenging, motivating activities for educational visitors of all ages in a safe environment.

The programmes and packages available include over 25 on-site activities, including abseiling, archery, bridge building games, canoeing, canoe safari, wall climbing, crate stacking, kayaking, sit on top kayaking, Katakanus, monkey climbing, raft building, stand up paddleboards, zip wire, bushcraft, initiative tests, low ropes, obstacle course, pioneering, orienteering, pond dipping, shelter building, bat detectors, grass sledges and jewel theft games.

Most outdoor adventure activities are 90 minutes long, can support up to 12 participants, and are designed to ensure all visitors achieve their aims and objectives.

Should you require a tailor-made programme, Hautbois Activity Centre’s team are more than happy to help. Visit with your school or college to experience some fun and exciting learning outside the classroom.

How does the trip link to the curriculum?

The instructors follow a ‘Challenge By Choice’ policy, where participants are encouraged to set their own goals and take part, playing a role in each team building activity.

This approach recognises that every participant is an individual with a different perception of the activity, and thus is respected for the part they play and given an opportunity to succeed.

These outdoor adventures enable students to develop, grow and learn in an informal, supportive way, as each activity offers different challenges, encouraging participants to use a variety of physical and mental skills to achieve their potential.
