Aim of the Course

The aim is to enable young people to develop life skills that will help them in their everyday life and future careers. This is achieved through undertaking different and sometimes challenging tasks but within a safe environment. By improving communication skills, develop leadership and team building skills it improves initiative and develops self- reliance. 

The course is individually tailored to meet the needs of the group and includes outdoor activities such as: 

• Rock climbing
• Canoeing
• Abseiling
• Caving
• Indoor climbing wall 
• and a host of other activities

All activities are supervised by highly qualified staff and the centre holds a licence from the National Adventure Licencing Authority. Safety is paramount and the Centre works to nationally accepted standards of good practice.

Alongside the staff at Whitehall are Rotarians who stay with the young people throughout the course and accompany the teams during their activities. 

Participation in the activities is not compulsory for Rotarians. The Rotarian’s Role is to undertake that of the responsible adult; however, you may well achieve goals and face challenges that you never thought possible and succeed. How….??  By teamwork, of course, and the encouragement and support given to you by the young people around you.
