The Mountain Camp is the first camp in your Youth Adventure Programme. It’ll be for 6 days in the summer holidays between Year 7 and Year 8. We’ll travel together on a coach to Maes y Fron Farm, which is in the Brecon Beacons in Wales. The camp is a chance to get to know the other young people and experience being away from home, staying in a tent and adventuring in the outdoors. The activities include canoeing, caving, gorge walking and climbing, plus an overnight mountain expedition!
You’ll have the chance to challenge yourself and set your own aims, and the team activities will help you to build your confidence, resilience and develop new skills.
You don’t need to bring any special equipment for the camp as we’ll have everything you need, from your tent and sleeping bag, to waterproof clothing and wellies. We’ll send you a kit list of what you do need to bring just before the camp.
