Taking advantage of the amazing Lake District landscape, we run as many of our activities as we can away from the Centre, with all groups enjoying a variety of single and multiple instructor led activities. Each Activity Group has a dedicated instructor with them for the duration of their stay, allowing our staff to get to know every individual and helping you make the most of your stay.
Activities on our multi-activity programmes are designed by our expert instructors and take all levels of disability into account, with courses including a selection listed below.
