Becoming Independent Adults

Our short breaks are designed to help you grow into an independent adult whilst spending your time in the great outdoors

We believe in learning by doing, not by staying indoors. That’s why we go out into the Peak District for a weekend full of exciting activities.

Imagine spending your Saturday exploring the intricate caving systems, scaling impressive rock faces, or paddling around in the reservoirs.

Our weekends are packed with opportunities to push your limits, make new friends, and gain valuable life skills.
