What we do: 

We offer real adventure in wilderness environments.

Based in the heart of the Lake District, Path to Adventure offers tailored learning experiences, residentials and day trips that inspire and motivate young people, transforming behaviours that will help them build a promising future.

Our Locations:

Our activities take place in the Lake District on the stunning lakes, sparkling rivers, breathtaking mountains and spectacular coastline. Our experiences allow young people time away from their everyday lives, inspiring and motivating them to explore, learn and build skills that they will use for the rest of their lives.

Planning your trip:

Working with you to plan your trip and starting with the end in mind, we put your learning aims and objectives at the forefront of your trip or residential.

All our residentials and trips are created to link with the curriculum and your school ethos. No school trips are the same. We are flexible in our approach and delivery, making it easy for you when planning your trip.

Our people:

Our staff are our biggest asset and we choose them very carefully. Many have been working with us for a number of years. They are fun, outgoing, professionally qualified people who are highly skilled experienced and passionate about working with young people in the outdoors. All our trips are high adventure so we ensure our staff are highly skilled, keeping everyone safe whilst facilitating high learning opportunities.

Accommodation:

After a busy day on the hill, head back to your accommodation, sit down, relax and enjoy a well-earned brew and hearty home-cooked meal. Working with the YHA as trade partners and other private accommodations, we offer quality affordable accommodation in dramatic Lake District locations. Historic buildings set in their own grounds with fabulous facilities, offering everything you could possibly want for a cozy stay away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Path to Adventure has a 3-year AALA license which gives assurance that good safety management practice is being followed so that young people can have opportunities to experience exciting and stimulating activities outdoors while not being exposed to avoidable risks

Our Outdoor Education programs are suitable for all key stages. We work with you to bring curriculum subjects alive within the activities, encouraging young people to explore and learn whilst having the time of their lives! We tailor each trip according to your curriculum content.

We can accommodate up to 45 students.
