Shortenills centre

For more than 50 years we have provided fond educational memories for thousands of Buckinghamshire's young people. We offer residential courses and day visits to enrich the experience and knowledge of every visitor.

Our mission

To maintain and improve the quality of the services we provide while reaching a greater number and wider range of people, young and adult, in the community.

Our customers value:

• The simple but comfortable and secure facilities
• The stimulating educational resources.
• The variety of habitats in the extensive grounds
• The wealth of educational opportunities at all times of the year
• The easy access to nearby woodland, village, farm and the local museum of historic buildings

Managed and maintained by Buckinghamshire County Council, we are the county's only centre of this kind.  Our main customers are the Counties maintained primary schools but other schools and educational organisations are very welcome. During school holidays we host a number of educational courses for young people.

Our development is supported by the Shortenills Environmental Education Trust.
