Everything we do at Castle Toward Outdoor Education Centre supports the personal and social education of young people. The resources and expertise at our disposal mean we can gear certain courses or elements of our courses to reinforce key lessons of the 5-14 curriculum.

The Duke of Edinburgh scheme, Heartstart, John Muir Award and Natural Connections are all good examples of how we can add value to the courses we run.

Heartstart
