If you would like to get your children involved in mountain sports by taking them out and enjoying the outdoors together, these exciting weekend breaks will give you everything you need to get started or to build on your existing skills and boost your confidence.
Designed for mum or dad (or both) to attend without the kids, these weekends are focused on you getting the level of understanding you need to make sure your kids enjoy the best possible outdoor adventures. Find out where to go, what gear to use, how to use it and how to maximise the fun whilst minimising the risk by taking into account all the sensible safety measures that are available to you.
Rest assured, these hands-on active breaks are certainly not about taking the fun out of mountain sports. In fact, with more in-depth knowledge you'll be able to make sure you and your kids go further, faster, higher or rougher than you'd ever thought possible. Why not join our coaches and let them share their knowledge, enthusiasm and judgement with you, so that you can enjoy these mountain sports with your kids.
