Outdoor Activities
Challenge yourself
Outdoor Activities… What’s On offer
All activities are ‘challenge by choice’, meaning that no instructor will force any participant to do anything they ultimately do not want to do. All instructors are trained to help you get the most out of these sessions and will encourage you at all stages of the session.
Teesdale Community Resources have been delivering activities and services to community and charity groups since the 1970s and we pride ourselves on offering value for money whilst not skipping on the quality your group will receive.
We are a small team and therefore get to know you and work with you. We enjoy ensuring that you have every possible need met.
Our group customers return time and time again as they respect our approach and love our wonderful venue.
Accessibility
Our centre is wheelchair friendly with bathrooms and all of our main spaces accessible, ensuring guests with mobility issues. Externally, the path around our lake has no steps, providing good access for wheelchair users.
