“The best journeys are those from which the outcome is uncertain”

Here at Blue Mountain Adventures we offer a bespoke 28 day emergency provision for young people aged 10-18 which is specifically developed for children and young people with more intense and individual needs who have found it difficult to settle in a regulated provision. We provide a minimum staffing ratio of 2 staff to 1 young person to best support and nurture individual needs.

Staff receive therapeutic training and are highly resilient. The provision specialises in working with young people who may have had a range of experiences including extremely challenging behaviour, multiple placement breakdowns, problems with social integration.

We provide a safe and nurturing environment whilst offering a flexible and engaging outdoor activity programme which can include such activities as Camping, Walking, Caving, Bike riding, Canoeing, White water rafting, Go-karting, Mountain hikes, Climbing, Zip wires, paddle boarding, kayaking to name a few.
