Action Adventure Days

During most school holiday periods, we  run our incredibly popular Action Adventure days. We would recommend booking early to get the day you prefer as courses fill up very quickly. Activities will usually include a mix of some of the described below.

Calshot is approved by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority to provide a wide range of activities to young people. We conform to the strict guidelines laid down by all the major sporting governing bodies. All Centre staff are highly trained and experienced and will both instruct and supervise groups for the duration of the day.
