Youth Programmes at Humphrey Head
3 day residential based on and around Humphrey Head, a limestone headland overlooking Morecambe Bay. Explore the cliffs, shoreline, ancient woodland and limestone pavement. Activities include Sea Cliff Scrambling, Orienteering, Bushcraft & Wilderness Skills, and creative arts.
The group gets a grounded sense of place, with time to experience blue space and dark skies, and a rounded programme packed with ecological, creative and adventure activities!
5 day residential, based at Humphrey Head and exploring the headland, seacliffs, and further afield, with opportunities to expand their learning with adventure journeys around Coniston, Windermere, and the Central Lakes, such as Canoeing, Ghyll Scrambling, Climbing, and Caving.
All our programmes are rooted in nature and adventure, with a focus on student-led experiential learning. And of course, teamwork, community building, joy, and wonder tend to happen along the way!
2-day residential, ideal for a first overnight experience, or those with a more restricted budget and timetable. Using the headland, coast, and on-site teaching areas, we'll create an exciting programme which can be adapted to the specific goals of each group- choose from a range of coastal adventure, wilderness skills, and nature connection activities, to design a visit perfectly suited to your group.
We also offer day visits exploring all of these activities, to supplement your regular curriculum with immersive outdoor learning journeys.
Youth Work & Development
As well as school residentials, Humphrey Head is perfectly placed to run a wide range of residential youth work programmes, such as Princes Trust, NCS, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award. These programmes are often based around developing independence and decision-making, giving young people opportunities to develop their confidence and resilience, as well as practical skills for spending time in the outdoors. Our remote location makes our centre an excellent training facility for young people to explore new behaviours and challenge themselves, all whilst being supported by our professional team of instructors and youth educators.
