Schools and youth organisations
Lea Green Centre offers a wide variety of environments and different approaches to learning and development, which are tailored according to the needs of your group. Both residential and non-residential day visits can be booked, as well as activities at your base or out in the Peak District.
We cater for all ages, abilities, and group sizes. Working alongside you, our planners will create a bespoke programme for your group, combining adventurous activities to achieve your desired learning outcomes and meet the needs of all group members. Our inclusive courses are designed to challenge children, build confidence, and give a sense of adventure, whilst improving teamwork, communication, and physical awareness skills.
Additional needs and accessibility
Many of our activities can be accessed by those with additional needs, with or without adaptation, as part of either a day visit or a residential stay.
SEN soft play sessions are regularly advertised and can be booked by individuals or family groups.
Meadow Lodge, our accessible accommodation, can be booked by schools, groups and families for activity breaks, respite or holidays.
Regular weekly activity sessions or alternative provision programmes can be delivered to meet individual requirements.
Adult team building and courses
Adult visits to develop workplace skills, such as leadership, communication and team work, are tailored to your workplace needs, desired outcomes and your budget. They can be a programme in themselves or combined with meetings, as we have meeting and conference facilities available.
Lea Green offers one day, 2 day and paediatric outdoor first aid courses, suitable for those working or volunteering in an outdoor environment.
Parties and social occasions
We run a range of activity days and events throughout the year, including school holiday activities and festivals.
You can hire the soft play for a children's party or book an outdoor adventure party with activities. We even take bookings for 'bigger kids' too, including special birthdays or family events.
