An adventurous learning experience for your class
We offer an adventurous activity for Isle of Wight school trips – with a difference. Our sessions are delivered by mature instructors who encourage independent learning, foster a sense of self belief and teach responsible risk management in a fun and safe environment.

Our stunning location in Appley Park, Ryde, Isle of Wight is easily accessible for groups of all sizes. The climbing tree is in a peaceful park bordered by trees and a long sandy beach. We’re only 5 minutes from Ryde town centre with other attractions, Wightlink ferry and hovercraft ports within easy reach. If you’re travelling from Southampton to East Cowes, on Red Funnel we’re about a 30 minute drive away.
