ENGAGING ENVIRONMENTS

Located on the doorstep of the Black Country at Baggeridge Country Park, our site offers visitors a brilliant opportunity to get away from it all. We have made every effort to build an engaging venue that provides our customers with opportunities to get active, adventurous and learn about themselves and others. Our centre blends in to the surrounding environment – so visitors quickly forget about the stress of everyday life.

MORE THAN JUST AN ADVENTURE CENTRE

As a ‘not for profit’ company we want to make our facilities available to all and customer experience is also high on our agenda. We use indoor and outdoor spaces to promote learning and adventure, we also welcome other partners and users if they want to hire our facilities for the good of the community.

INDOOR CLASSROOMS

There are a number of indoor spaces onsite. We have 4 indoor classrooms with heating and air conditioning, smart-boards, networks, projectors and desks – each classroom accommodates 10 people but can be joined together to accommodate 20 people at a time If you want some workshop space then this can easily be achieved.

WOODLAND SHELTER

Woodland Shelter A meeting place with a difference, our onsite woodland shelter can house up to 40 people at a time. The perfect solution for ‘outdoor learning’ when the elements are a bit to harsh to deal with. We also use the shelter as a venue for birthday parties where organisers can set up their own meal and decorations at a small extra cost.

SPECTATORS

We have put a lot of thought into providing viewing areas where, if you are a spectator, then you almost feel part of the experience. Large decked areas with seating mean that you are able to encourage and support those who might need it when standing at least 30 ft off the ground. Visitor experience is very important to us.

WOODLAND ENVIRONMENT

Baggeridge Country Park provides an ideal setting for those looking for wildlife and those wishing to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. #IWILL volunteers from Ormiston SWB Academy have helped us to plant around our site to ensure that we blend within our immediate environment.

HIRE OUR SPACE

We include use of facilities as part of our programmes and packages but if you are just looking for an inspirational meeting space where you can work with your team or a venue with a difference to host a celebration then we will happily hire it out to you. Why not mix and match with some of our activities?

EVENTS

We hold various events throughout the calendar year when we theme things up and offer something a bit different. We advertise these events on our Facebook page and through our mailing list. A great opportunity for you to visit with family and friends and get involved in all that we have to offer.

"

Having worked with this client group personally, I really appreciate the employability courses that you have run and how beneficial they are to to the individuals; the impact has enabled our young people in custody to equip them with the skills to manage their own behaviours when facing a challenge or crisis  Julie Cable - Head of Operations Shaw Trust

Through our Challenge Academy ‘Branching Out’ course students we were able to identify , control and work through the emotions to build resilience. encouraging each other and challenging each other appropriately emotional health of our students, they quickly learned the effect of teamwork in order to achieve successful outcomes and goals  Marc Waters Wheels VLS

The Challenge Academy training and resources were not only a fantastic opportunity for us to develop our own team dynamic through the learning experience, but has provided us with some brilliant and targeted activities that have supported the personal development work we do with young people. The instructor made it interactive and relevant to the aims of our organisation and has enabled us to deliver a more robust service, this will have a direct impact upon the young people that we work with Jonathan Allen -  Phase Trust

Having attended Challenge Academy with 20 Beaver Scouts today I can really recommend the venue and it’s team. All the instructors were attentive, supportive and fun. The activities were well set up, we felt safe and enjoyed the whole day. Our Beavers all went home with big smiles on their faces having achieved much more than they expected. Helen Perks - Beaver Volunteer

What a fantastic place! I would highly recommend Challenge Academy to anyone. Both my kids loved it with so much to do and something for all abilities. The staff are all super welcoming, helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back again. I loved the fact that you could view the kids on all the activities and get pictures. Also handy that the site is dog friendly. Chloe Drew - Facebook Review

The instructors are amazing and so encouraging when you have those occasional ‘I can’t do this’ moments! There are lots of them which means their organisation is second to none, safety is paramount and all this for a fantastically great value price! I didn’t know this place existed but I’ll be spreading the word, Thank you Challenge Academy! Windsor High School

CA provided a day’s training for my team of Tutors and partners for Facilitator Training in Team Development skills. We had an amazing day - incredibly productive, creative and got the results! Even individuals lacking in some confidence and not as willing as others to get involved, engaged and got a huge amount from the training. We had great fun! If you’re willing to try something a little different, I can really recommend this kit and training - Fantastic ! Rachel Clarke – Manager Derby Adult Learning Services
