HYMB: Groups, Schools, and Corporate

Schools, Colleges and Youth Groups

HYMB is pleased to be able to offer year round high quality courses for schools, colleges, Youth, Scout and Guide groups, or for businesses, specifically designed to meet their individual needs and requirements. We offer an exciting range of both land and water activities which can take the form of a a one off multi-activity day, or a series off sessions on one activity. The choice is yours- we will cater for your needs. All our courses and activities are staffed by instructors qualified in the appropriate field of activity and work to Hertfordshire County Council policies. In addition we are registered with the Adventure Activity Licensing Authority (AALA), Licence# L4825

Groups with own leaders:
Contact us for details of rates for using our equipment. As leaders you must meet the necessary requirements in the activity of your choice, both qualifications and numbers. Note that we do run courses that enable you to become qualified to use our equipment, if you are not already appropriately qualified. Groups without leaders:
We are able to provide leaders to meet your requirements. Call us to discuss your needs. We can create a package to meet your needs, whether it is a multi activity day, or camp, or a specific course. You may wish to turn your stay into a residential and make the most of the easily accessible facilities in the area.

Residentials

Set in the heart of the Lee Valley Country Park, HYMB is an excellent venue for schools and youth groups to camp, for periods from 1 night to a week.

Cost £4.00 per person per night.

The facilities include toilets, wash room (all hours) and showers (while base is open). The site lends itself to both large camps of up to 100 campers and small camps of just a few tents.

See our Camping page for more information & details of local attractions that might be of use to you when planning your residential.

If you prefer something more comfortable, then the Lee Valley Youth Hostel is right next door.
