This Adventures in Snowdonia five-day residential is for young people that have a love of the outdoors, the adventurous activities that it can offer and an interest in working to conserve it.
Throughout the week you will take part in a variety of activities to discover and explore the National Park and surrounding areas with like-minded peers.
Challenges might include climbing, gorge scrambling, mountain trekking, canoeing and an overnight camping expedition. A key aspect of the residential will be your conservation day, where you will conduct work to conserve an area within Snowdonia National Park.
This residential is only open to young people who will be aged 16 – 18 years old at the time of attending.
We want to ensure participants get to share in their experience with those of a similar age. Please consider what age the attendee will be on the course date and check they fit into the age category when booking.
If the attendee is under 18, the booking must be made by a parent/guardian. When you book, it is essential that you enter the age and attendees name in the Order Notes at the checkout.
When attending the residential dates which welcome 16-18 year olds, all participants will be expected to follow the behaviour and conduct rules which will be in place to safeguard young people.
