We've been running courses in climbing and paddling for young people (12-17 yrs) for many years. That experience has helped us identify the most important ingredient in outdoor learning - Fun. All our courses focus on providing maximum enjoyment whilst learning and developing outdoor skills, with each of our highly qualified instructors a true enthusiast, keen to pass on their skills as well as their unique approach to the outdoors. Once again we're running a range of young persons skills courses taking up the entire Plas y Brenin building. So participants will be surrounded by people of their own age and interests. In addition to instruction, participants on these courses will be looked after at all times with male and female members of staff always close at hand. Other activities that can be enjoyed in the evening include orienteering, low ropes and raft building.
