How can we help?

Govilon Activity Centre has two primary offerings. The first is our Outdoor Education & Activity Programmes, which stretch back to our inception in 1971. We run these for schools, youth organisations and corporations. In more recent years, we also decided to open our doors for visitors to hire the Centre for Accommodation and Functions.

 

Outdoor Education & Activity Programmes 

Our outdoor programmes can be broken down into Residential Activity Programmes and single Activity Days. We offer both residentials and activity days young people and adults/corporations alike.

On all our programmes and activities, the aim is to provide our visitors with a safe, educational and enjoyable experience. We use a variety of traditional education and training methods in natural outdoor settings, to develop life skills. Each programme is bespoke to match your needs, but typical programme outcomes include communications skills, leadership and self-confidence.

The approach we take is non-confrontational, friendly and supportive. Participants aren't pushed into any situation with which they are uncomfortable. Each activity or exercise is explained and agreed in advance and anyone may opt out. We aim to encourage people to challenge themselves and reach goals they could not imagine possible.

 

Accommodation & Functions

Govilon is available to hire for group accommodation and parties/functions, on a self-catering or catered basis. For group bookings, the Centre will sleep 52 in a combination of different rooms. The large dining/common room, with its space and high ceilings, is often hired for conferences, parties or gatherings.
