About the Centre
The Everdon Activities Centre is set in the village of Everdon, near Daventry, in some of the most beautiful countryside in Northamptonshire.
The Centre has been an Outdoor Education Centre since 1974. It is based in the Old School Building in Everdon near Daventry, in a tranquil village setting. The Centre benefits from a beautiful garden with a small tree nursery area, composting facilities, various fruit trees and a room for some activities.
Our Aims
Our aim is for children and young people (and adults too!) to enjoy the great outdoors, have a brilliant time, to learn about their environment and how they can be involved in caring for it and leave with great memories of learning in the outdoors.
Based in the old School building the Centre offers comfortable facilities and a homely atmosphere.
It is part of the village of Everdon, just outside Daventry
There is a lounge area for the children to relax in, including a small library of fiction books for them to borrow and lockers for their belongings.
There are two dormitories for the children. Staff are accommodated in separate rooms.
Each child is provided with a rucksack, waterproof jackets and trousers and wellingtons for use during their stay.
There is a small courtyard where children can eat their lunches during the better weather,
