Youth Activities
Out of Term Activities
Our popular and varied programme to date has consisted of rafting, caving, arts & crafts, stand up paddle boarding and archery sessions. It is designed to encourage an increase in wellbeing such as self-esteem and confidence as well as inspiring individual development, encouraging communication skills and supporting participants to build trusting relationships. The activities provide opportunities to learn a new skill or improve an existing one and to challenge their abilities. Children and young people aged 5-17 years are invited to take part in our activity programme during school holidays.

“I enjoyed everything, and I most enjoyed the challenge and surprise of doing different tasks and working together. The trip was very encouraging both physically and mentally”.
“We had to use teamwork in the cave and had to put in lots of effort as this isn’t for the fainthearted. It was very tight in places and got your heart pumping.”
