Just finished my motorboat 2 training license with Ben and he was brilliant! Super calm, clear and very supportive for the 2 days. He also showed us all the facilities and courses they do. We’ll definitely be back with our kids. Thanks Ben!

My class and I went to visit Cobnor for our end of year residential. We arrived on Wednesday the 5th of June 2024 and stayed until Friday the 7th of June. Cobnor is located beside the Chichester Harbour. The lovely staff were very welcoming and humorous but professional at the same time. As well as being superbly taken care of, the equipment was good quality and I had a ball whilst participating in the activities. Some of my favourite activities were the canoeing, kayaking and Aeroball. Aeroball is a sport in which you bounce on a trampoline and try throwing the ball into the oppositions net to get a point. The facilities were also sanitary and the showers were enjoyable. I recommended showering because it will warm you up after being in the breezy Chichester Harbour. We were give comfy mattresses to sleep on and with the rooms being cosy, it make it ideal for overnight residence. I would like to mention a couple of the staff that helped us through our stay. I am sure the rest of the employees are brilliant but thank you the office staff, Greg, Andy, Will, Stew, Owen, Tom and the cooks. To round up our stay I would definitely recommend visiting overnight or just going for day activities. Mateo On June 5th 2024, the whole of the year 6 group when to Cobnor activities camp. The staff were welcoming and fun, they helped us achieve our best by saying nice things to motivate us, my favourite staff members were Will, Greg, and Stew. I would rate the food five stars, but the hotdogs were a little over salted. However, apart from the hotdogs it was amazing food, my favourite was Bolognese. The activities were so fun! My personal favourite was probably the kayaking, because we had to rescue our classmate 5 times. I have to say that two of our beds were pushing springs into our sides. However, Cobnor was a beautiful place for all of us. But, the boys' toilets smelt a little [we should have used the mop to clean the wet floor!]. Apart from that I will definitely come to Cobnor again soon. Thank you for letting us stay there. I advise any other people who come to Cobnor to bring sunscreen, clothes and a torch. Mason My class and I went to Cobnor Activity Centre Trust. I liked the place because I liked the view of Chichester Harbour. I stayed in the Jubilee building. There were three bunk beds but two of the beds were so hard. The activities were so good. I liked all the activities. We did six activities - Aero ball, orienteering, kayaking, canoeing, archery, keel boat sailing and climbing wall. My favourites were kayaking and aero ball because it’s like basketball [I like playing basketball and football.] Cobnor Activity Centre Trust was a really fantastic experience. Daniel

Absolutely hands down the best holiday activity club! My 8 year old daughter went on her own and was quite shy and nervous about going. Not only did Cobnor make her feel incredibly welcome she also had SO much fun building rafts, sailing, orienteering, archery and rope climbing. She was made to feel 'one of the team' AND Niamh taught her how to ride her bike (something we've been trying for years!). She hasn't stopped talking about the experience and felt safe, secure and happy there. She will be coming back in August for a week. Big shout out to Tim who made her laugh a lot and also wonderful Niamh (apologies if I've spelt your name wrong) THANK YOU! Suzi x
