Sample Programme

Your staff were friendly, welcoming, confidence-inspiring, knowledgeable and keen to ensure that all involved both enjoyed the activities and learnt something from them. There was an excellent balance on all activities between fun and education and a reassuring emphasis on safety. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending OA for a challenging and enjoyable educational experience.

Your staffs' knowledge and understanding of the BTEC criteria was excellent and enabled us to complete an eight week unit in half the time! The evening lectures aided the students greatly in their assignment tasks.

Choose your programme from the following activities

Surfing

A must if you are in Cornwall !

Whether it’s getting the buzz from your first wave or the challenge of learning to bottom turn on a green wave your surfing moments will stay with you forever.

^^^

Bodyboarding

Another thrilling way to surf the waves. Just enjoy catching the broken waves close to the beach or try out some radical manoeuvres - 360s, aerial re-entries and tube rides.

^^^

Kayaking

An incredibly versatile sport. It has everything from tranquil paddling up calm rivers to the adrenaline rushes from white water rapids, battling against the surf or taking on a solo ocean crossing.

^^^

Canadian Canoeing

A great way to journey. This is the method of transport that the Indians used to use. Our canoes can carry from 2 to 4 people in a boat and provide a perfect activity for a group to enjoy.

^^^

Climbing

Experience real exhilaration and the satisfaction of conquering a rock face with the sea crashing beneath you. Start off on an easy route to gain confidence and then take on a tricky one and get the rush of being exposed on a rock face.

^^^

Abseiling

You can’t beat the thrill of abseiling down a Cornish cliff face. As you descend you can marvel at the spectacular views all around. A great confidence boost.

^^^

Archery

Archery takes place in the fantastic location of our level lawn within the Centre grounds overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Where better to learn?!

^^^

Coastal Discovery

We are spoilt for choice for fabulous walks - anything from an easy stroll to walking on challenging terrain crossing breathtaking valleys with steep climbs. Fantastic for wildlife.
