We work with young people of all ages, however all of our activities have a minimum age limit of 5 years old. For some, children must be aged 8 years or older. These include: archery, swimming and Jacob's Ladder.

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 (hellowoodrow@londonyouth.org)

Woodrow High House sleeps up to 136 people, split between 26 bedrooms. The bedrooms vary in size, sleeping between 2 to 10 people. Bedrooms are dormitory style and consist of bunk beds or single beds.

The last activity finishes at approximately 9pm. This is when we handover to the group leader who will make the group aware of when they expect "lights out". Similarly, the group leader will work with the children to arrange the rooming.

Group leaders share two to a room (two single beds). 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.

You do not need to bring your own bedding, we provide all of this for you. You will however need to ensure you have a towel (or two if your group is swimming). The children will be required to make up their own beds (a great team-building exercise).

Our wonderful catering team will provide three hearty meals a day. You can take a look at an example menu on our 'Useful Downloads' page under 'Information Zone'.
