The Dorset coast is incredible for climbing, coasteering, SUP, kayaking and wild swimming.
We have a team that is big enough to achieve fantastic things but small enough to be friendly and human.

We work with school children Monday – Friday. We work with stag groups, corporate clients, family’s and ‘open sessions’ at the weekends.
During the school holidays we’re busy with Gold DofE residentials, kids clubs and youth sessions – there’s lots of variety.
