We provide positive activities for young people with social communication difficulties through a planned series of outdoor activity breaks (camps) tailored to their individual needs. Camps may last from a 24 hour stop over, a weekend or up to a week in the school holidays. Young people are accompanied and supported on a 1:1 ratio by our team of carefully selected and trained volunteers.

Before a young person comes on a camp, the Project Coordinator will visit him/her at home and begin to develop a relationship with them through a number of short activity sessions locally, leading up to a day's activity at a local outdoor pursuits centre.

When a young person is ready they will be invited for a 24 hour stopover or weekend.

Activities might include any of the following activities: canoeing, kayaking, ropes course, mountain biking, sailing, archery, team challenges; but the programme is determined by the needs and interests of the young people concerned.
