60th anniversary - share your stories
This year marks 60 years of Hampshire Outdoor Centres!
Over the years, we've offered a range of adventurous activities, comfortable accommodation and stunning locations for all to explore and enjoy.
To celebrate our 60th anniversary, we are creating a video scrapbook of visitors’ memories - whether you have visited one of our centres for a residential trip or taken part in one of our courses, we'd love to hear your story!
Did you fall in love with watersports at Calshot, or caving at Argoed Lwyd? Have you learnt a skill with us that you’ve shared with your children/grandchildren? Have you won awards/accomplishments through skills acquired with us or has a visit to one of our centres inspired a great adventure / expedition?
Tell us your story of what impact our centres might have had on your life using the ‘Share your story’ link below.
Looking for some story inspiration, check out our below video clips from Kayleigh, Angus and Dave from our Tile Barn Outdoor Centre, to see how their experiences at our centres, changed their lives for the better.
