With a dedicated and highly experienced staff team, many of whom have worked at the Centre for over 15 years, our guests recognise that this knowledge, combined with the unique natural environment of Heatree, provides the ultimate learning opportunity. Learning in this experiential way enables the development of key skills and behaviours, helping develop positive outcomes for individuals over the long term and teaching them how to value and respect the natural world and the people around them.

Each activity is designed to provide moments to challenge and improve self-confidence, to step out of routine thought and go beyond perceived limitations. There are opportunities to develop resilience, respect, trust and build relationships with others.

We run a wide variety of activity sessions both onsite and on Dartmoor, such as kayaking, climbing, raft building, mountain biking, bushcraft and archery – see our full list below. We also have a Bronze Age roundhouse on site which provides a unique and engaging learning experience in prehistory.
