Connect with the great outdoors

Step away from the city and out of your comfort zone with adventurous activities and 26 acres to explore. You can visit Woodrow for a day, a weekend or more, and give your young people a life-changing chance to leave the city behind and fully connect with nature.

Remarkable residentials

Whether it’s a weekend escape or a longer school holiday stay, we’ll make it unforgettable for your young people. With meals included, you’ll stay fuelled for the perfect mix of outdoor action, adventure and time to relax.

Daring day trips

Join us at Woodrow for the day and grab the chance to embrace adventure! We’ll work around your schedule to pack in a mix of physical and mental challenges, team-building and time to reflect on it all before you head home.

“The connection with nature was something that our members found so beneficial for their wellbeing”

Lifelong skills and confidence

Each and every experience is unique. For some young people, it’s their first time away from home, for others, it’s their first time outside of London or their borough. Our instructors are here to deliver a trip to remember and challenge them to be the best they can be.

Got more questions? Get in touch

I want a self-led residential without outdoor activities, is Woodrow still right for me?

Absolutely. We have lots of groups stay with us who run their own programme entirely. They make good use of the indoor break-out spaces and sports hall facility. We can provide your group with projectors, screens and flip-chart stands too. If you have any specific requests, please do get in touch to discuss your requirements by emailing hellowoodrow@londonyouth.org or use the form on our Contact page and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Do I need to bring a packed lunch on my first day or for my day visit?

Yes. If staying residentially, we will provide meals commencing from your first evening until lunch on your departure day. Please ensure packed lunches are healthy and nut-free, and in a disposable bag.

I’m a group leader, what will my bedroom be like?

Group leaders share two to a room (two single beds), we do have one triple! We provide all of the bed linen, and ensure your beds are made up for you prior to your arrival. You’ll also get a small kettle, tea, coffee and hot chocolate provided in your room. Oh, and a mint on the pillow.

I have a question that hasn’t been answered
