Our residential bases

The Atlantic House Hotel, a large AA 2 star hotel overlooking the towns main beaches. We generally use the Atlantic House for residential school multi-activity weeks. Hotel guests in the main summer also make the most of the half day introductory sessions that we provide.

The Northshore hostel, a backpackers hostel with good facilities. Northshore is a very reasonably priced hostel in Bude which is often used by small groups taking part in either a range of activities or a progressive single activity programme.

We also have contact with a wide range of local accommodation providers from basic camping fields, well facilitated campsites to local guest houses.


 

Single activity introductory courses

If there's an activity you'd like to have a go at then come along to an introductory session. Usually run as half day sessions but can be extended to a whole day. We provide sessions throughout the year with a open booking system in place throughout the Easter and Summer holidays. This means that in the main holiday periods you can just turn up at our base, The Atlantic House Hotel, and sign up for what ever activity you fancy.

At other times of the year all you need to do is contact us with your activity request and we'll provide a session for your needs. Sessions can be run to cater for individuals, families and friends and can be linked together for a fun packed few days, ideal for groups wanting an adventurous weekend.


 

Improvement and Progressive courses

If you're already into a sport then we can help to develop your skills to the next level. You might want some 1:1 coaching or guiding or a course run over several days for your group. Whether its climbing, paddlesport or surfing we have the expertise and equipment to help you progress.

These courses can be run in a single session or can be programmed over several days. Just get in touch with your requirements and we'll be happy to provide you with a price and provisional details.


 

Group development courses

We can provide single day development courses both in the North Cornwall area and on Dartmoor. We can also build up longer programmes using our extensive list of teamwork activities. Our customers include schools, re-employment groups, business groups and special educational needs parties.

Each course is designed specifically to meet the needs of each customer. Please feel free to get in touch with your requirements and we'll be happy to suggest ideas for you to consider.


 

BCU qualification courses

Within our staff we have some extremely talented and well qualified canoeists. Our team includes BCU coaches from level 3 up to level 5 and BCU assessors capable of running level 1, level 2 and level 3 coach training and assessment courses. We regularly train and assess for star awards in kayaking and canoeing, the canoeing safety test, 4 star awards and 5 star training.

If you're in need of some training or an assessment then please get in touch. We can run courses here in Bude or a a venue closer to you.
