This course is fully booked

This family holiday is the ultimate experience for adventure-seekers.​

You won’t be afraid to make a splash as you scramble through ghylls or push yourself to reach new heights as you climb and take on the high ropes. In between our adventurous activities we will be getting close with nature as we discover what wild creatures live in our grounds and cook an evening meal over an open fire after an afternoon of bushcraft.

One day will be spent with your adventure leader who will lead you up a local mountain of the Lake District, sharing it’s hidden secrets along the way. Evenings will be a mix of led activities and own time for you to enjoy with your family. You will also have one day free so that you can go out and explore the local area. Ask your leader on the best places to visit in the area!​

This holiday is most suitable for families with children aged 7 -15. Younger children are welcome, although activities might not be suitable for them. If your child will be under the age of three on time of arrival, please select the ‘Infant’ booking option so they can attend for free!
