We're reflecting on a great week of day trips by visiting school groups, including some who braved the variable weather conditions out on the beach! We don't usually have great white sharks at Calshot, but one made an appearance... 🦈

🎈Happy Birthday to us! 🎈
🎂🎉

Hampshire County Council opened the first sports course at Calshot Activity Centre on the 11th May 1964, teaching sailing for Hampshire children. The centre quickly expanded to teach other adventurous sports, such as kayaking and field studies, and added a dry ski slope and an indoor velodrome– the first of its kind at the time.
