POTENTIA
Kepplewray – Opening The World Beyond The Classroom
Learning Outside
the Classroom
Welcome To Kepplewray
The Kepplewray Centre is situated in the Lake
District National Park and within the 11th
century market town of Broughton in Furness.
This phenomenally beautiful and inspiring region
is at the entrance to the Duddon Valley, one of
Cumbria’s best-kept secrets, and plays host to
some nationally recognised sporting activities
such as The Duddon Valley Fell Race and The
Fred Whitton Challenge cycle race.
The Centre occupies a large Victorian mansion
set in its own grounds, and offers full board
accommodation plus an extensive range of
outdoor activities, led by our enthusiastic and
qualified instructors. Whatever the age or
level of ability, we encourage our visitors to
try everything, have fun and enhance their
lives by pushing back personal boundaries.
Our activity programmes offer everyone the
chance to participate fully alongside their peers
and build positive relationships in a relaxed,
safe environment.
At the end of a busy day you can look forward to
wonderful home cooked food, and then either
relax in warm, comfortable surroundings, or
enjoy some evening activities devised and led by
our irrepressible instructors.
“The beauty of Kepplewray’s philosophy is the way
it raises a person’s self-esteem; it emphasises what
you can do, not what you can’t.”
–– A Teacher from Surrey
We believe that every young person, whatever their
age should have the opportunity to learn beyond the
classroom, whether they’re striving for the summit on
The Old Man of Coniston, discovering the history and
the ingenuity of the people who worked the quarries
or in the depths of the tunnels where copper was
mined. These are just some of the experiences that
link into the National Curriculum, through History,
Geography, Geology, Science, PE, and English, which
vividly enhance their stay at Kepplewray.
Not only will young people benefit academically,
they will expand their horizons, develop their
communication and social skills and build selfconfidence by working as part of a team.

Ahead of your visit to Kepplewray we will liaise
with you to ensure we understand your aims for
the young people, whether they are educational,
personal development, or enhancing social skills.
Throughout your visit our instructors will ensure
that your objectives are achieved and that the
entire group has a great experience.
“May I thank you all for providing a time of
challenge, fun & adventure and giving everyone
special memories which will last a lifetime... The
children returned home absolutely exhilarated and
have not stopped talking about their time there.”
–– Head Teacher Sunderland
To create this unforgettable and worthwhile
experience let our team guide you in designing a
programme that allows your young people to enjoy
learning in the great outdoors.
