What will students see and do?

Located in Upminster, Stubbers Adventure Centre offers one of the biggest variety of adventure activities in the south east. Each year, it welcomes over 40,000 thrill-seekers of all ages through the doors of its 130-acre site, inviting them to participate in exciting activities on its three lakes, giant adventure playgrounds, large climbing towers, discovery trails filled with surprises, den-building areas and more.

Plus, as a non-profit charity, the money the centre makes goes straight back into its charitable work, meaning that by choosing to visit Stubbers Adventure Centre, you’re helping to bring even more outdoor adventures to youth organisations and schools.

The site encourages visitors to step out of their comfort zone and into a world of adventure, with 35+ extraordinary activities across the land, air and water. Feel the wind in your hair and the water on your skin with watersports like windsurfing, sailing, Kata Kanu, kayaking, jet-skiing, open canoeing and paddleboarding.

Alternatively, get your heart pumping and embrace the thrill of something new with archery, axe throwing, wall climbing, quad biking and air rifle shooting.

You can even team up with friends and make awesome memories with boot camp, bushcraft, orienteering, challenge courses and team-building events.

How does the trip link to the curriculum?

Life at Stubbers is all about laughter and fun. With 20 years of experience and a team of highly-trained, passionate staff, Stubbers Adventure is committed to introducing your group to new skills and experiences and making sure they have a great time while they do so.

The staff will work with you to develop a programme of adventurous activities suited to the time of the year, as well as the skill level, age and learning outcomes desired for your adventurers.

Every day at Stubbers will be structured to offer a variety of action-packed sessions across land, air and water, helping kids develop core skills, build confidence and enjoy themselves from start to finish.

Stubbers Adventure Centre aims to provide children with a safe space to play and grow in confidence. As a result, it believes in ‘challenge by choice’ – students are never pushed to do something they don’t want to, and the staff are always at hand to advise on how best a student can participate on a level that is comfortable for them. This way, everyone has an enjoyable day while still taking away important lessons and lifelong memories.
