Our Activities

Adventure Activities

A multi-activity trip for young people is about personal learning and creating healthy habits for life.

We provide the environment for them to find the courage to climb, jump, trust each other, take a step into the unknown. To push their boundaries, strengthen friendships and grow.

We want to build on the benefits of the outdoors to the mental and physical health of young people. Give them the freedom to mature. 

They’ll leave WAAC with memories of a lifetime, from a trip that made a difference to their self-esteem, motivation and engagement.
