Support for Schools
Notts Outdoors provides outdoor learning opportunities for young people in Nottinghamshire and beyond.
We work with schools, colleges, youth groups, and employers to enhance the lives of young people. We aim to teach confidence, awaken adventure and immerse students in what the great outdoors and nature have to teach us.
In 2023, over 30,000 young people accessed a service through Notts Outdoors. We welcomed schools, youth groups, and families from within Nottinghamshire and the surrounding counties.
We have eight centres across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, all offering something different and unique. Our two residential centres, St Micheals and Hagg Farm, are located in the outstanding natural beauty of the Peak District National Park. In Nottinghamshire, we have a wilderness experience camp, Camp Redwood, located near Clumber Park, and four environmental education day centres, Perlethorpe, Brackenhurst, Sherwood, Rushcliffe and an activity day and residential centre the Mill Adventure Base.
We promise to offer accessible and affordable opportunities for young people, creating an environment that makes learning fun and inclusive for all. Our centres are staffed by qualified and experienced specialists and are operated to rigorous health and safety standards. So rest assured you're with the experts...
