Join us for Blencathra Holiday Club. We will be running 4 days of activities at Field Studies Council Blencathra in the school holidays, for children aged 8-11 years old.
Each day will be a mixture of adventurous activities such as hill walks or ghyll scrambling and nature based environmental games. Activities will happen on-site at the centre or in the surrounding area with a minibus journey to the activity location.
