Schools and Colleges

ESSA works with both Primary and Secondary Schools and Colleges to deliver exciting learning opportunities outside the classroom in a safe and secure environment.  Our wide range of water activities challenges students both mentally and physically.  By taking students outside their comfort zone we are able to build resilience, improve communication and teamwork and most importantly build confidence.

Whether you would like to bond year groups, enrich your curriculum, gain an award or use the experience for your PE GCSE or Duke of Edinburgh Award, our experienced and qualified team will be able to put together a package that is both age and ability appropriate and fits your time constraints.

Minimum age 6 years.

    What our customers say

    I would like to thank everyone for a great fun paddle boarding experience on Saturday. We all had such fun. The equipment was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely repeat this.

    Thank you so much for the fun sailing session our group thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The staff at Essa were very patient and helpful.

    25th Harlow Scouts

    Our daughters have had a great time on Stage 1 and 2 sailing courses. Richard and staff were all super helpful and made their time there loads of fun and their skills have come on brilliantly. This base is a real gem and we will be taking more opportunities to use the facilities as a family. Thanks so much.

    definitely the best holiday camp on offer – they have loved it

    Hannah (parent)

    The children had an amazing trip, they had the time of their lives and left your centre extremely happy and are still raving about it today.

    We thought the instructors were excellent, they had a perfect balance between fun and professional, they were able to deliver the important message of how to stay safe doing the activities as well as making the day extremely fun for the children.

    Our staff were delighted with the centre and the day itself, the activities being so close together was very useful for us, and the layout of the changing and lunch is ideal too.

    “I would like to convey my thanks to all staff and instructors for an amazing experience at ESSA today. The Beaver Scouts had a fantastic experience and all of them went home smiling, albeit quite tired.
