Join us at Talkin Adventures for an action-packed day. Our wide range of activities promote physical activity for all ages, providing a natural platform for children to improve their interpersonal communication, cooperation, confidence and a host of key skills.

Your activity delivery will be tailored to suit all ages from early years, through key stages 1, 2, 3, and beyond!

School day visits and activities are a great way to allow the children in your group to experience new challenges and bond with peers and your staff members.

Contact us for our School & Youth Groups Brochure. The brochure has some ideas and we'd love to have a chat with you to create your ideal package.

Our instructors have a wealth of experience in delivering fun activities for middle school aged children ranging to fun leadership activities for high school students.

We welcome all school and youth groups, and are a local venue to Carlisle and Hexham.

Let us know your objectives and we will help create the right package for you! We use a range of adventure activities, usually over a three session day, to ensure that your group has a brilliant time and achieves your intended outcomes. Each activity session will be fully supervised by our friendly, professional instructors. Timings can be adjusted to suit your needs, we understand that transportation is often easier outside of school peak times, and for many local schools, up to three quality activity sessions can be organised within normal school hours. A range of example packages are included in our brochure.

Take a look at our brochure for a wide range of options, or get in touch for something more bespoke. We often arrange activities on Summer's evenings and weekends.

Your group will have access to warm showers and changing rooms, should they be required. Lunch and breaks are usually outdoors or in the woods, but shelter can be provided in the event of bad weather. We typically book the education cabin at Talkin Tarn as a private facility for your group.

Every school is different and the desired outcomes from outdoor education, although similar, are unique to you. Some schools book our activities to add to their adventure sports week towards the end of term, whilst for others, our visit will really help teachers to mould their class for the year ahead. Build on your outdoor experiences and learning activity with us to help with your lesson plans. Our instructors will be fully aware of your desired outcomes and will liaise with you during the day to ensure that you are pleased with the progression of your event.

Each of our enrichment activities for kids will be adapted in line with your needs. For example, a fun archery session may have a greater emphasis on numeracy through keeping score in friendly competitions, or supporting others through team games and peer review. Our problem solving activities will be selected with your goals in mind, bringing a competitive edge to aid teamwork, or including a time management element to help engage the group.

All of our instructors have an enhanced DBS check.
