Kingswood is delighted to announce in partnership with Liverpool City Council the reopening of the Colomendy Centre in Denbighshire, North Wales. Originally developed as a safe haven for wartime evacuees, Colomendy has become woven into the life of over 350,000 children who have visited the Centre over the years and enjoyed that unique "Colomendy experience".
Often referred to as the "Gateway to North Wales", Colomendy is situated in a magnificent setting in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The 130 acre site is just off the A55 Expressway and is surrounded by beautiful hills and woodlands. It provides an ideal safe and secure venue for school residentials.
Colomendy has just completed phase 1 of a multi-million pound redevelopment that paves the way to it becoming one of Europe’s premier Educational Activity Centres. Work has just been completed on a brand new £1 million pound adventure park on the site. Included are 3 huge climbing and abseiling towers, high and low rope activities, an adrenaline giant swing, a tree-top aerial course and a monster 200 metre zip wire. Other top attractions in the park include a major simulated caving system built into a natural rock seam and a spectacular water sports lake alongside the River Alyn that runs through the Northern end on the site. Full and environmental facilities are due for completion to co-incide with the Kingswood programme coming to Colomendy in 2008.
Refurbishment to the accommodation includes en suite bathroom facilities and upgrades of existing buildings to provide a new reception, restaurant area and Evening Entertainment Zones.
For Key stage 2 schools we have introduced our new Discovery programme which consists of a choice of 12 themed modules designed to fire young imaginations and deliver stimulating learning within ICT, Science and Environmental Studies.
Our Key stage 3 & 4 programmes include popular courses such as Lifeskills, Transition & Motivation and an established favourite Adventure Choice. We will also be including our very popular 3+ Programme for Key stage 3 students in 2008.
Kingswood has an excellent reputation for our environmental programmes and new Geography, Biology and Field Study courses that take advantage of the rich local environment will shortly be available for GCSE and A Level students.
