Last month we brought 60 of our year 4 pupils. The children had a fantastic time. The staff are just amazing and got to know our children so well. They are all so professional yet fun. We will never go anywhere else with our children as they benefit so much from the activities but also the environment, staff and wonderful food. Thanks Bewerley Park, you are truly amazing!

Just come home after 4 days here had a fantastic time with our yr5/6 pupils . Everyone looked after us , the dorms were great . Food was fantastic ( im gluten free and never had any issues at all with food ) . Paul was our instructor and he could not of done any more for us . Our children have all come back with more self confidence and self worth ( i also conquered some of my fears) . Just fantastic

I attended in 1979 and it was one of the best life experiences I’ve had. I did a 10 day general course, followed by a 5 day specialist course in caving. For this we traveled to Settle and stayed in an old converted school. It was challenging and I definitely got used to being cold and wet, but what a wonderful adventure. I live in London now, so it’s unlikely that my children will be able to go, but definitely recommend it to anyone with young people who are transitioning from children to adults. Many thanks!

I went there with school about 1962 Darton High The best experience ever, Would love to visit again , I went twice both times were fantastic it was school from school but with lots of fun and games The cost then was £3 for 5 weeks I was 14

years young and went twice , I went in Winter once when there was lots of snow and then the second time in the Summer both times were great. It was school from school then with lots of

things to do in your free time .

it again

My son came home from Bewerley Park last night and sobbed uncontrollably for over an hour. He described how he was forced to jump off high platforms and squeeze into confined spaces despite repeatedly begging not to have to take part. Instead he was told that it was for his own good to push himself outside of his comfort zone. He described experiencing a panic attack during which he was told not to be 'silly'. After the activities one of the instructors taunted him saying "If you really were claustrophobic you wouldn't be able to get on your school bus."

My son is very sporty, smart and confident and has taken part in many challenging activities but on this occasion he said it was "too much" and no one would listen to him. He is 10.

I will be contacting the centre as soon as they open and the school, but I wanted to leave this information here for anyone considering a trip here.

My child is not the only one to return home extremely distressed.

Went with school very fun did great activities shout out to darron who was my instructor and made it very fun but at the same time he encouraged me to try things out of my comfort zone.

I did NCS here a few days ago and stayed for 5 days. The activities were great however for some reason we didn't do some of the ones that looked really good. The food isn't anything great but it isn't awful. The instructors are really nice and helpful and make the activities fun while they take precautions to keep us safe. The dorms are quite nice yet the beds aren't great but you couldn't expect much better.
Overall Bewerley Park is an amazing place in the middle of a stunning area.
