Outdoor Team Building & Activity Days for Children, Young People and Staff Teams

Middle Stanley Outdoor Provision offers bespoke, nature-based activity and team-building experiences in a unique rural setting.

Whether supporting children who may be struggling to engage, rewarding pupils for their hard work, effort and achievements, providing an exciting experience for a whole year group, or bringing together a staff team, every visit is individually designed around the needs, interests and goals of the group.

Our sessions bring people together through practical outdoor challenges and shared experiences, helping to develop confidence, communication, teamwork, resilience and problem-solving skills – while having fun, building relationships and trying something different.

Who We Support

Our activity days can be tailored for bespoke groups of children and young people aged 5–16, larger school groups, whole year groups, and staff teams.

Every experience is bespoke and adapted to suit the age, abilities, needs and objectives of each group.

Testimonials

"I wasn’t very good at archery at first, but I kept trying and eventually hit a bullseye. I learned that I can overcome my fears."

"The blindfold trail taught us to trust each other and work with people we wouldn’t usually work with. I discovered that I’m good at working with others."

"I learned that I’m stronger than I thought I was. The activities were fun, but prepare to get muddy!"

"It’s an amazing opportunity to learn new things, enjoy the beautiful countryside and make great memories with your friends."

"The blindfold trail was challenging because I had to rely on my friends to guide me. We persevered, communicated clearly and got the whole team through."

"I learned that I can believe in myself and keep trying when something feels difficult.”

"The activities teach life skills, survival skills and teamwork while still being lots of fun"

"It’s really good, and Robbie and Nick are helpful and encouraging leaders."
