Presented by Bike Hike and Paddle Ltd | Approved Residential AAP | AALA Licensed
Ready to step out of your comfort zone? Join us at our base camp for an immersive five day outdoor adventure designed to push your limits, teach you lifelong practical skills and fully fulfil your Gold Award residential requirement. As an Approved Activity Provider, we have built an engaging and progressive programme based from a static camp, transforming individual participants from across the UK into a tight knit collaborative team.
Master the Great Outdoors from Base Camp
This residential focuses on building a thriving camp community while tackling different outdoor skills each day. Based at our static campsite, you will dive into a mix of land and water challenges. It is the perfect environment to step away from home, build your independence, share unique experiences with new people and add a standout achievement to your CV.
The Experience
Canoeing and Water Skills: Take to the water to learn essential paddle strokes, tandem coordination and water safety under expert guidance.

Bushcraft and Campfire Cookery: Master the art of no match fire lighting, shelter building and outdoor survival skills. Every evening the team gathers around the hearth to prepare, cook and share hearty meals together over an open fire.
Downtime and Reflection: Balance the busy daytime sessions with dedicated space to unwind. You will have plenty of time to relax, play camp games, chat with peers and reflect on your achievements.
