Now Providing Day Activities

Please note we can provide day activity sessions for adults. These take the place of being fully residential and allow individuals to still come and have a brilliant time at Calvert Lakes without having to stay. Sessions might include canoeing, high ropes, cycling or indoor climbing and can be tailor-made to suit your requirements.

Please contact the Bookings Team on 017687 72255 to discuss your requirements

Benefits of Adult Adventure Breaks

Getting away from routine

We provide a structured and safe environment for adults with disabilities to enjoy a change of scenery and have a really rewarding break in the beautiful surrounds of Lake District. You will be secure in the knowledge that all our facilities and accommodation will meet your requirements, and that while challenging, all the activities are achievable and fun.

Self-belief and confidence

For many people with disabilities, achieving challenging activities in a supportive environment is huge boost to their sense of wellbeing which can be of benefit to their lives long after the visit has come to an end. Whether someone is trying activities
for the first time, or returning to them after health issues meant they thought they could never do them again, the sense of achievement is immense.

Meeting new people

As a great opportunity to meet new people, and to ensure that everyone has the most rewarding time, where possible we put people of similar abilities and confidences together. Because of the social nature of these courses, we often find that people come back on the same date time and time again to meet up with friends that they have previously made because they have had so much fun together.
