You'll find superb choice for such accommodation types in the Lake District, which offers such a variety of outdoor activities run by hostel centres.

Group Holidays in Cumbria - Budget Activity Holidays
The Lake District is particularly well covered for bunkhouses and outdoor activity centres, found in most Lakeland Fells rich areas in Cumbria, for example around Keswick and the spectacular Northern Fells. Umm, why not put your corporate team through 'physical hell' in one of the many outdoor centres which usually include an array of outdoor activities such as climbing, walking and hiking, as well as orienteering.
Many outdoor activity centres are located near lakes, offering a choice of watersports with trained supervisors on hand to assist and advise. Accommodation sleeping arrangements in Youth Hostels, Activity Centres and Bunkhouses are usually dormitory style with separate female and male dormitories. Occasional family rooms are available. Be sure to check with the accommodation provider if you require a separate family room.
The Lake District is also well served by Youth Hostels. The obvious issue about group accommodation is that you spread the cost. Families can combine to do this, and camping and Youth Hostels are always a cheap budget accommodation option. Look out for Backpacker Hostels as well, which makes the perfect choice for a cheap accommodation venue, and a change to meet other travellers.
Cumbria Team Building Activity Centres and Outdoor Activity Centres
There's plenty of choice of corporate entertainment and training centres in the Lake District, some very large accommodating over 100, with often more than one group attending courses and/or activities at any one time. Some centres will accommodate smaller numbers around the 35 mark, meaning that there is only ever one group at the centre. About group travel insurance
Development programmes at Team Building Activity Centres can range from Personal and Team Development, Basic Team building, Stress and its Management, Assertiveness and Conflict Management and general Corporate Entertainment Breaks - all these seem befitting to the times!
Some centres will be more basic than others. Always check on facilities, particularly restaurant facilities, training and accreditation of staff. Many centres will offer you a choice of either using their courses and trained staff or bringing your own package.
Cumbria Outdoor Activity Centres and Educational Centres
Activities at Outdoor Activity Centres include things like rock climbing, hill walking, camping, sailing, orienteering, canoeing and kayaking, caving, gorge walking, mountain biking and sometimes skiing! The level of outdoor pursuits depends largely on the experience and interest of guests, but most courses offered will include a basic introduction to the activity.
Lake District Youth Hostels
With 230 youth hostels across the UK, Youth Hostels remain one of the most extensive choices for group holidays at an affordable price. Many are located within beautiful countryside and the Lake District is particularly well served by Youth Hostel Accommodation.
Youth Hostels offer much these days, including the obvious - low cost, but also high standards of service, safety and security and often exclusive use options. Some offer education packages linked to the National Curriculum, evening activities and group activities including walking and other outdoor activities. Check out the website for the full list of activities on offer. Accommodation type is mostly dormitory style, and some venues are camping barns which are converted farm buildings providing simple, self-catering accommodation.
You can rent Youth Hostels all to yourselves, if you're a large group, with exclusive use of facilities. Annual membership fees are extremely low, making Youth Hostels the perfect low cost group family option. Always check when booking whether the particular youth hostel is more suitable for families or large groups, and also check on issues like disabled access as some are better than others. Youth Hostels also now offer summer camp facilities. Good news - a sailing and windsurfing school is now open within the grounds of YHA Ambleside. The school is offering sailing and windsurfing courses. Groups Holiday Accommodation in Yorkshire Group holiday accommodation in Devon Groups Holiday Accommodation in the Northwest www.yha.org.uk
