Runway’s End Outdoor Centre’s Explore Programme

Incredible adventure, low price

Our most affordable programme yet, created to make outdoor experiences accessible to all. In this programme a full class (up to 36 students) will spend their time with a single instructor.

Closer to nature

This programme is exclusive to our pod accommodation, so nature is quite literally on your doorstep! Our cosy pods are heated all year round and nestled together in a village with your own private campfire and enclosed hall space for eating and recreation.

Maximise team skills

Our instructors are well-equipped to facilitate strong personal and group outcomes for young people. Combine this with the fun, varied activities on offer, and all participants will come away with strong team cohesion and enhanced personal communication skills.

Tailored programmes

We are experts in tailoring programmes to suit all needs and all budgets, so if you cannot see anything which meets your requirements, then please reach out to our team who will be happy to create a bespoke programme for you.
