The Outdoor Learning Centre (OLC), formally known as Ardwhallan, has welcomed its first visitors after a major revamp.
The OLC, which is found nestled in the picturesque West Baldwin, will provide outdoor learning opportunities for young people and is a key part of the Department of Education, Sport and Culture’s Youth Strategy.
The soft launch will start with free training days for teachers, so they can see the facilities and learn how they can be used to help young people.

Students from University College Isle of Man (UCM) will also spend time at the centre in the coming weeks.
What’s on offer:
- Outdoor Learning: The centre includes several areas designed to immerse students in the natural environment and foster creativity.
- Adventure Course, Problem-Solving Field and Orienteering Course: Carefully redesigned facilities will offer a variety of challenges.
- Experiential Learning Programmes: A diverse range of programmes that align with traditional curriculum standards.
- Highly trained team: Passionate and experienced educators will guide young people through a curriculum, promoting critical thinking, problem-solving and team work.
- School Bookings: The OLC is dedicated to providing students with unforgettable, educational and adventure-filled experiences.
It is hoped the centre will fully reopen this Spring with paddle-boarding, problem solving, orienteering and the brand new purpose built adventure course all up and running.
