Quaystage Training is an experiential learning provider which works in partnership with schools and educational organisations, creating outdoor learning experiences based around the marine environment, using the principles of sail training and outdoor education to stimulate personal and vocational development.
We provide youth sailing adventures and teen summer sail camps, offering young people and teens the chance to challenge, stretch and develop themselves in an environment unlike any other.
As an organisation, our mission is to inspire self-confidence and develop personal growth in young people, giving them a sense of belonging as well as responsibility to themselves and the environment.
The programmes Quaystage Training offers can be allocated to four key areas:
Sail Camp adventures for young people
Diving adventures for young people
School groups
Education@Sea Programmes
Working with young people
Sail Camps' programmes provide a platform for adventure, personal development and social interaction during the traditional school vacation times. Programmes are provided for age groups 14-16, 16-18 and 18+
These include:
Take your classroom or school outside and on the water for a totally different education experience.
Quaystage Training provides schools, colleges and other educational establishments with outdoor education opportunities and "active classroom experiences" for young people. We work in partnerships with head teachers and subject leaders to meet school specified learning requirements.
Experiential education and outdoor learning are becoming increasingly important in the development of the lives of young people. Our courses and training programmes are designed to provide young people with the skills to influence the outcome of the journey towards their adult lives, by providing them with learning and adventure experiences that will teach, guide and coach them at a key stage of their development.
Participants are encouraged to put the effort into their voyages to help develop themselves, and as such the process and outcomes of Quaystage's adventure and training courses are as follows:
Through our partners we can provide RYA Sailing qualifications, PADI dive certification, and are recognised to deliver Duke of Edinburgh Awards credits for expeditions and residential disciplines.
