Day Visits - Yew Tree Lodge
“I feel that we achieved more in one day in terms of teamwork and co-operation, than could be achieved in years in the classroom”.
Yew Tree Lodge is the new Day Visit Centre at Low Bank Ground, suitable for groups of up to 20. There is a large classroom/seminar room with computer suite suitable for meetings, workshops and courses requiring ICT facilities, including video-conferencing. As well as this it provides a spacious base for outdoor activity groups. Popular day and half-day activities include: kayaking, canoeing, sailing, orienteering, rock scrambling, team challenges, mountain walks and environmental activities. There are two sets of changing rooms, showers and toilets and facilities for wheel-chair users.
Some of the groups who have used Yew Tree Lodge include:
- A local secondary school to develop kayaking skills.
- A Wigan school for outdoor team building activities.
- An environmental group using it for a day seminar.
- Two training days for youth leaders in Cumbria.
- A staff team for an in-service day.
“It is a great facility for groups wanting a day’s activity on the water. The boathouse has all the equipment for sailing, kayaking and canoeing and it’s good to be able to get a hot shower at the end of the day”.
It is possible to book buffet or packed lunches at the Centre as part of the day. Groups can also use Yew Tree Lodge for meetings followed by a local guided walk or activity on the lake. We are happy to discuss your individual course requirements and provide a day visit to meet the needs of your group. Please telephone the Centre to discuss.
