OUTDOOR LEARNING

Delivering outstanding outdoor education and adventure through our Caldecott Xperience centre

Specialist after school activities and outdoor education centre

We deliver outstanding outdoor adventure activities and outdoor education through our Caldecotte Xperience centre located by the lake on the edge of Milton Keynes. We enable young people of all abilities to learn to challenge themselves, have fun and work together discovering what they can achieve rather than what they can’t. Our facilities are regarded as some of the best in the region combining after school activities and outdoor activities for children.
