Outdoor Learning Day
We base our Outdoor Learning Days at the centre and its immediate surroundings. Sub-groups take part in a selection of tasks in the morning, such as the climbing tower, a forest rope trail, orienteering, problem-solving tasks.
The group spends the afternoon on a mini-adventure walk or a local hill walk – a chance to explore in the great outdoors!
Mountain Study Day
Our Mountain Study Days are ideal for primary groups who are studying Mountains and/or National Parks.
Within a short walk from the centre, pupils can see for themselves a wide range of features that they may have already studied in the classroom:
- Geology – rocks, erosion
- Water-courses – springs, streams, rivers
- Mountain plants
- Mountain insects, birds, animals
- Weather
- Man’s impact on and relationship with the mountain landscape
- The features, benefits and workings of a National Park
- Natural beauty of the locality discussed and explored
River Study Day
You can base your River Study Day for GCSE and A Level Geography at the Storey Arms Centre.
The River Tarrell rises close to the centre and passes through a variety of landscapes before reaching Brecon 9 miles north.
Our instructors can guide you to suitable access points and provide safety cover.
You can follow up your practical fieldwork with a classroom-based session in our teaching room.
Team Development Day
Our Team Development Days are suitable for
- Sixth Form pupils
- Youth group members
- School staff teams and
- Business teams
We use the grounds at the Storey Arms Centre and its local surroundings.
We have a selection of projects that encourage teamwork, communication, trust, time and resource management.
You can combine one of our projects with your own input session, such as a team objective setting session, to make a valuable day out of school or your workplace.
