Summer Camps

We aim to provide high-quality, challenging, and adventurous experiences in beautiful natural settings.

Our greatest resource is our location. We travel to the mountains, rivers, lakes, and beaches of rural North Wales to undertake meaningful adventures, with the aim of placing each student at the centre of the learning process.

We provide the opportunity for students to make decisions that have a real and immediate outcome, in other words, the decisions they make shape their experience.

The Myddelton Adventure Philosophy is based on a risk-benefit approach, in which we intentionally seek out adventure and we do not shy away from risk; we embrace it in a considered and conscious manner, placing emphasis on professional judgement.

To achieve this, we operate at low ratios, we use highly experienced and qualified staff who hold a broad base of personal and professional practice and have a genuine passion for delivering meaningful adventure education.

We hold a deep knowledge of how to successfully apply adventure education to a wide range of students with fantastic outcomes. The philosophy of Adventure is built into the fabric and culture of our school.

Our highly experienced and qualified staff will create a bespoke programme for each day of Myddelton Adventure Camp, dependent on; the needs of the individuals; the needs of the group; the desire of the students and the weather!

As such, the details below provide an outline of what you can expect.

As mentioned previously, we operate at low ratios, with highly experienced staff and we strive to encounter high levels of adventure and challenge.

We achieve excellence in adventure education through immersion and interaction in the natural spaces of the world. Each day we will go on fantastic and wide-ranging adventures that are appropriate to the wants and needs of the group, the weather, and the educational outcomes we are striving to achieve.

Our programme is flexible and dynamic, which allows us to be adaptable in ensuring that we consistently meet the needs of the students we have.

The activities will not be limited to, but will likely include; rock climbing, mountaineering, scrambling, canoeing, gorge walking, white water kayaking, bushcraft and beach activities.

In addition to our adventurous day activities, we will also provide a full evening of supervision which includes fun and social activities, plus some ‘down time’ to relax and recuperate. We finish each Myddelton Adventure Camp with a campfire party and the Myddelton Bushcraft Challenge!

Following the huge success of our Summer 2021 camps, we are delighted to be offering our Adventure Education Camp in Summer 2022!
