We deliver what you want

Individual courses are developed in accordance with the needs of employers. Teambuilding qualities are selected and combined in a programme which utilises a variety of our facilities. Low key reviewing sessions complete the package.

Both mental and physical challenges are carefully chosen to reinforce learning objectives and the level of activity is always well within the capabilities of individuals.
Our aims are to develop people, build the team and then improve team performance. Our professional team have been delivering these courses for over 20 years. We are experienced in both providing complete courses ourselves or complementing events arranged by other organisation.

Your visit to Calshot will be beneficial, dynamic and fun!

We are able to combine our numerous on site facilities with exercises in the New Forest and the Solent.
Initiative & Low Ropes Courses A purpose built area for team tasks incorporating mental and physical challenges where success can only be achieved by team unison. A Night Line is included in this area, allowing a blind-folded team to negotiate various obstacles facilitating the vital skills of trust and communication.

High Ropes Course

Situated inside the Schneider Hangar this is an ideal way for individuals to find out about themselves, confront their fears, trust and support others, feel empathy and have shared experiences of the unknown.

Problem Solving

Tasks Our vast repertoire of problem solving tasks range from simple 10 minute exercises to longer more complex challenges.

Forest Exercises

In the New Forest we have several orienteering courses for both individual competition or team exercises. We are also able to set longer navigational challenges which can include completing tasks in pre-determined places.

Solent Navigation

On the Solent we have navigational exercises that involve 'buoy hopping' to a set destination. Guidance on chart and compass work is given. Participants may be given the opportunity to 'helm' the vessel.

River Crossing

A challenging and enjoyable team activity either in the New Forest or across our Canoe Pool!

Raft Building

A typical though effective team building event. Our situation provides variety in this exercise allowing us to build a raft of simple construction for use on the canoe pool or something more substantial to be used in our sheltered creek.

Calshot provides year round opportunities for Corporate events. We have an unrivalled mix of exciting and challenging activities suitable for novices and experts, all tailored specifically to the client's requirements. Emphasis is placed on safety, enjoyment and learning.

All our staff are appropriately qualified for the various disciplines ensuring the best possible experience. All specialist clothing and equipment is provided for your visit.
