Join us at Portland Outdoor Centre for your Duke of Edinburgh Gold Residential!

An action-packed programme designed to challenge you, embrace new experiences, and connect you with new people. Imagine scaling towering limestone cliffs in Climbing, leaping into azure blue waters on Coasteering or leading your team across Portland Harbour by kayak or big canoe in Watersports. Setting up camp and cooking up some caught mackerel on Bushcraft or searching the island in team tasks and initiative challenges! We have something for everyone!

Upon your return you will have comfortable indoor accommodation, hot showers, cooking space and communal areas to relax in. With evening activities and a beach BBQ included, expect each new day to be filled with new adventures.

Your residential is more than just an activity week. It’s a chance to develop self-confidence, work on your independence, accept responsibility, and enhance your communication skills.

Located in Portland, Dorset, we are perfectly positioned on the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the adventure capital of the Southwest. While we can’t promise sunshine, we can certainly guarantee adventure.
