You may wish to book several days of activities or you may only require one or two activity sessions, the choice is yours, we'll be delighted to help with even the smallest request. One of our big strengths is the close proximity of all our activities - none being more than a 10 minute walk from our base at the Atlantic House. As a consequence you'll find no time is lost in lengthy bus trips to activity sites. We can recommend a variety of campsites, bunk houses and Youth Hostels. See our campsite list for details.

We can provide sessions for the whole group or more personalized tuition and coaching as required. Rock Climbing at an inland venue - some transport required but we could go away for the whole day and really get the the most from everyone. Surfing - More than just a great activity - got to be part of any programme! The Dartmoor Challenge - A day away from Bude on the edge of Dartmoor where groups of between 10 and 15 take part in a problem solving / team building sequence of challenges - great fun and very rewarding. Additional Information The Coastal Treks follow the cliff top paths towards Sandymouth or Duckpool where we descend to the boulder beaches for the return walk and scramble back to Bude. The National Trust cafe at Sandymouth gives a welcome break to some serious hills. This can be done as a half day activity but is more exciting if we use a whole day - the planning of this activity is affected by the tide so please ask for details. Moorland Guiding on Dartmoor or Bodmin Moor can include the organisation of competition hikes or hunting for Dartmoor's unique Letter boxes. The River Challenge, Canadian Adventure, Ultimate Quest and Dartmoor Challenge are all great for encouraging initiative, communication and genuine teamwork. Take a BCU award.
