WHO'S READY TO GET WET?!

If there's one activity that's almost guaranteed to get everyone laughing, it's GHYLL SCRAMBLING!

Imagine exploring a rocky stream, scrambling over boulders, tackling natural obstacles and getting thoroughly soaked along the way!

It's challenging, exciting, and usually involves a lot of laughter!

At Ormside Mill, ghyll scrambling is one of the fantastic outdoor adventures we can offer visiting groups.

It's a brilliant way to develop confidence, teamwork and a sense of adventure.

And let's face it... sometimes getting absolutely soaked is half the fun! 💦

We want to know...

👇 Would you give ghyll scrambling a go, or would you rather stay warm and dry?!

IT'S ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES! 🌿

There's something pretty special about watching a young person achieve something they didn't think they could do.

Maybe it's reaching the top of a climb, paddling a canoe for the first time or finding their way using a map and compass.

At Ormside Mill, we believe outdoor adventures help young people:

💪 Build confidence

🤝 Develop teamwork and friendships

🧭 Learn new skills

🌟 Become more independent

😊 Discover what they're capable of!

And quite often, the young person who starts the weekend saying "I can't do that" is the one who finishes saying "Can we do it again?"

That's what makes residential adventures so rewarding!

Give your group the opportunity to experience something special in 2027.
