What 2SUR5 does

2SUR5 is a privately held Dutch experiential learning and youth development organization headquartered in Wateringen (Westland region near The Hague), founded around 2002 and operating with 11–50 employees across two physical footprints: a main site in Wateringen and an adventure operations base in the Vosges mountains of France. Its core offering is a unified portfolio built on Project Adventure methodology, internally branded as the 'Beleef, Ontdek, Verander' (Experience, Discover, Change) approach and supported by Challenge by Choice and Full Value Contract principles. The portfolio spans four lines: Activities & Excursions (outdoor adventure and parties for children, families and groups), Schools Programs (student development, climate measurement, project weeks, camps and teacher courses for primary, secondary and special education), Businesses & Organizations (team training, strategy days and corporate courses), and Jeugdhulp / Youth Care (treatment, guidance, school-based youth care and early school leaving prevention for ages 6–18).

The 'technology' is fundamentally pedagogical and human-delivered rather than software-based, with a proprietary measurement instrument (Klimaatschaal, in long-term partnership with Rovict) and a packaged methodology as the closest analogue to proprietary IP. 2SUR5 monetizes through professional services engagements (project weeks, multi-day programs, courses, youth care hours) plus, more recently, recurring annual subscription packages called Maatpakketten for schools at three tiers: S (€10,000/year), M (€15,000/year) and L (€20,000/year), which bundle flexible budgets for class interventions, coaching, team support and rapid escalation capacity across the school year. Go-to-market is consultative and direct: free consultations, annual contracts with schools and organizations, and referral-driven expansion through Dutch educational networks, supplemented by an informational website (2sur5.nl) and Google-derived local reputation (9/10 across 73 reviews).

2SUR5 is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, external investors or M&A activity, and its operating geographies are concentrated in the Netherlands with cross-border delivery in Belgium, Germany, and France via the Vosges base. The company holds a stack of material compliance credentials (CIIO ISO 9001:2015, CRKBO vocational registration, SBB Erkend Leerbedrijf, Veilig Werken Buitensport, JeugdStem AKJ trust person status) that both reflect and gatekeep its positioning across schools, youth care and adventure sports.

Broad incumbents

• Scouting Nederland: Large established Dutch youth organization delivering outdoor and adventure-based personal development programming; overlaps 2SUR5 in the youth/school and personal development segments but at materially greater scale and as a volunteer-led membership organization.
• Stayokay (Dutch Hostel Foundation): Dutch hostel operator running school trip packages, family activities and group outdoor stays across the Netherlands; comparable to 2SUR5's children/families and schools segments at scale, but as a broader hospitality operator rather than an experiential learning specialist.
• Center for Creative Leadership (EMEA): Global leadership and executive education provider with EMEA offerings in leadership development and team coaching; overlaps 2SUR5's corporate teambuilding and leadership course offerings as a much larger, broader incumbent.

Others

• JINC: Dutch non-profit supporting youth personal development and school-to-work transitions via experiential programs for primary, secondary and MBO students; overlaps 2SUR5's school/youth development segment and Skills4School/BVO program offerings.
• Nivon: Dutch nature-education and outdoor recreation organization offering group programs in nature for adults and youth — overlaps with 2SUR5's nature-based experiential learning focus and group/adult education audiences.

Direct peers
