About Hertfordshire Outdoors

Hertfordshire Outdoors is a unit within Hertfordshire County Council's Standards and School Effectiveness Group and offers a wide range of exciting fieldwork activities designed and developed to support the National Curriculum.

Operating from two county bases, Cuffley and Hudnall Park, Hertfordshire Outdoors is committed to providing achievement for all through adventurous outdoor and environmental activities. As well as providing an excellent location for habitat investigation the Centres offer considerable learning opportunities in all aspects of the curriculum.

Offering a variety of both day and residential courses in safe and secure environments, each centre has something unique to offer, from specialised activities to a wide range of natural habitats. Hertfordshire Outdoors has established an excellent reputation both locally and nationally.

The natural surroundings of our centres provide a comfortable and relaxed setting ideally suited for both professional and personal development.

The stimulating and challenging team building events help attendees build confidence and self-awareness, whilst developing leadership techniques and learning how to get the best from the colleagues they work with. Our experienced trainers and facilitators look to meet the individual needs of course members through confirming and reinforcing best practice relevant to the work place.

We also offer a range of family and adult development courses throughout the year with qualified tutors offering theoretical and practical guidance.

Hertfordshire Outdoors invites students of all ages to use our extensive facilities and welcomes organisations, special interest groups and businesses to also take advantage of our excellent resources. At the end of their stay all guests will feel a sense of personal and group achievement as a result of their visit.
