AN ACTION-PACKED PROGRAMME WITH FULL RANGE
OF LEADING-EDGE ADVENTURE AND SPORTS ACTIVITIES!

 
     
 

Given the beautiful rugged countryside surrounding the famous Yorkshire Moors, VILLAGE CAMPS, with its extensive experience in organizing award-winning outdoor activities in Switzerland, France, Austria, Ireland and Canada, has developed in York a quite different programme guaranteed to challenge mind, body and spirit!

From hiking to high ropes, to canoeing, kayaking, to caving, spelunking and bog-scampering – there are thrills in store for the adventurous camper.  Naturally, all explorations, exercises and activities are under the strict guidance and supervision of a fully-qualified course Director, staff personnel and local specialist instructors.

Some adventure activities are half-day and others are full day, usually returning well in time for a shower before evening meal.  Sports and Creative Team Challenges are offered each week as well.   During the weekend there is a fantastic full day Saturday excursion, followed by a relaxing ‘chill-out’ day at Camp on Sunday, with a late brunch, before enjoying sports and creative, fun activities.

THE BOTTOM LINE

 
 

This is an appealing and challenging course for campers who love the outdoors, new experiences, fun activities and sports of all kinds, while being able to quickly establish an esprit-de-corps with other like-minded campers in this camp programme.  It is designed to test individual endeavour, involve decision-making and teach teamwork. The safety of campers is always the highest VILLAGE CAMPS priority.  After strenuous activities there are fun evening programmes and relaxing weekends to ensure the programme is sensibly balanced.
