Welcome to NOCG
Naval Outdoor Centre Germany

The Naval Outdoor Centre Germany is the Navy's Adventurous and Challenging activities Centre situated in the beautiful Allgäu area of Bavaria, Southern Germany. Its aim is to provide members of the Naval Service an opportunity to participate in Adventurous activities and in doing so expose individuals to risk occasionally operating outside of their comfort zones. We achieve this by offering you the opportunity to participate in winter and summer based activities over a the week.

The first surprise for many will be the fact that personal contributions will be ₤0, that’s right nothing!! We are supported by both the RN/RM Sports Lottery and the RN/RM Charity, so join today!

Winter AT Season – Closure of applications process

Due to the extremely high numbers of applicants for the Winter Season we will NO LONGER be accepting applications for Adventure Training between now and the end of April. We also have an extensive list of reserves for each week so please do not e-mail asking for reserve places. We understand that this is somewhat disappointing but we are hugely oversubscribed for the Winter Season and do not wish to give false hope by accepting your application.

Please also note that an application is simply that. Many applicants are under the impression that because they have submitted an application that they are then guaranteed the places they have requested which is incorrect. Once your application is received by us then it will go forward to the allocations process carried out by the OC.

Summer Multi-Activity Programme

Applications for the Summer Season for the Multi-Activity programme are now being accepted. The deadline for A.T Applications for the months of MAY and JUNE ONLY will be Friday 24 Feb 2012 with the allocations being carried out shortly afterwards. If you wish to apply for May or June please ensure that your application is with us in good time. July applications will also be accepted but will have a later deadline.

This new allocations process is being trialled due to the large number of late and last-minute cancellations received in 2011, leaving many places unfilled.


Notice To All Applicants

When completing the online booking proforma, please be specific about the dates that you are applying for. ‘ASAP' or ‘Any time in the next few months' is far too vague and, due to the high volume of applications received these will not be considered. Feel free to add any other information into the comments section at the bottom of the application proforma.



October 2011


"Thank you to also those who sponsored me for the Berlin Marathon in support of the RN&RM Charity, I completed the inline skating marathon on the Sat evening in 1 hr 41 mins and then the road marathon on the Sun morning in 4 hr 2 mins. In total and thanks to the generosity of the supporters I raised just over £400 for this most worthwhile charity.”

Major Paul Gellender MBE OC NOCG
