1-2-1 Alternative Provision in Devon and the Southwest

Reconnect. Explore. Thrive.

At ReCon Devon, every session is an adventure—crafted uniquely to meet the needs, abilities, and aspirations of young people. We don’t just offer sessions; we create experiences that spark growth, confidence, and resilience.

The Great Outdoors—A Natural Classroom

Our sessions take full advantage of the breath-taking landscapes of Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset. From the rugged coastlines to the vast wilderness of Dartmoor and Exmoor, young people embark on journeys that challenge, inspire, and heal. Whether it’s forest treks, lakeside explorations, or riverside reflections, every environment offers an opportunity to learn, grow, and build essential life skills.

Time to Be. Time to Talk. Time to Listen.

We understand that trust doesn’t happen overnight. That’s why we give young people the time and space they need—without pressure. Whether through a walk-and-talk session or a quiet moment by the water, conversations happen naturally. Persistence without pressure is key, and when the time is right, young people open up, take charge, and start shaping their own futures.

Adventures with Purpose

Our activities are more than just fun—they build confidence, communication, and resilience:

• ✔ Den Building & Fire Pits – Teamwork, problem-solving, and survival skills in action.
• ✔ Outdoor Cooking & Fishing – Patience, focus, and the joy of self-sufficiency.
• ✔ Kite Flying & Beachcombing – Freedom, mindfulness, and creativity unleashed.
• ✔ Museums, Galleries & Zoos – Learning beyond the classroom, inspired by curiosity.
• ✔ Climbing & Outdoor Challenges – Setting goals, pushing boundaries, and celebrating achievements.

When milestones are reached, rewards follow—an exciting outdoor activity, a visit to an inspiring place, or an experience that fuels ambition.

Empowered for Life

At ReCon Devon, every session carries a powerful lesson: "The Power of No".

Young people learn to say no to negative influences, no to harmful choices, and no to limiting beliefs. With support, guidance, and real-world experiences, they take ownership of their journey and step into their potential.
