The Towers is a
Residential and Educational Outdoor Centre for young people by the
City of Wolverhampton. The course provides pupils with the
opportunity to sample a variety of mountain and water activities in
Snowdonia and the experience of living and working together with
other young people and staff at the Centre.
 Many
specialised and technical skills are learned on activity days but
more importantly the course helps young people to develop a sense of
personal and group responsibility. Walking, climbing and a
variety of watersports form the basis of the programme that is
adapted on a day to day basis according to the prevailing weather
and to the abilities and the needs of individuals and groups.
In the evenings there are further activity sessions led by Towers
staff and leaders.
 The outdoor
activities are organised and led by experienced and qualified
instructors who live in North Wales and work at The Towers,
supported by the Teachers from S.Peter's, who also provide overnight
supervision. The Instructional staff all hold appropriate
National Governing Body awards for the activities undertaken at the
Centre and have extensive knowledge of the area. The
Instructors have a duty of care and are responsible for the safety
of all visiting groups.
 Over
the years, it has been noted by many pupils that The Towers has made
a significant impression on their lives. For some pupils it
was the most lasting memory of their school years and others have
expanded their outlook and personal aspiration from the confidence
the outdoor experience has given them.
