Outdoor Family Adventures
Family time is special and the potential for family adventure is limitless - we'd love to help you share outdoor adventures together. Whether you would like the confidence to reach a particular summit, fancy trying rock climbing or would like to give your first multi-pitch climb together as a family a go, our instructors are experienced in working with families to tailor adventures to the needs of all ages.
If you have some previous experience or would like to take your skills further, we can help you develop these so that you can enjoy adventures independently with confidence.
Outdoor Family Adventures are booked through Adventure Expertise - this is the training and guiding arm of AE.

Rock Climbing
A day of climbing in stunning surroundings at the right level of challenge for all your family. Try everything you'd like, enjoy loads of climbs, learn the ropes to look after each other and share lots of smiles together. Just let us know if you'd like to include some abseiling and we'll ensure that we make time for that too. A great day of adventures and challenges that works for all members of the family - charge your camera up ready!
Prefer a half-day option? A great taster session or to fit around other activities, this 4 hour session still fits in a good amount of time on the rock if you don't have time for a full day.

Guided Hill & Mountain Days
Are there summits, mountains or adventures that you'd like to do as a family but would like a little bit of experience or expertise to support you in achieving things with confidence? Family adventures are some of our favourite days in the hills - sharing the day with you and giving you the confidence to go to places that you might not otherwise head to.
Choose from days out in the Peak District, Lake District, Snowdonia or let us know where you'd like to head.

Ghyll Scrambling
Adventure at some of it's best and a hugely popular day for family members of all ages. Join us in the beautiful Lake District to scramble, climb and splash your way up rivers and ghylls that look like they've been perfectly formed for adventure. Our instructors know the ghyllls well and can choose the best location for your family along with adjusting the routes and challenges to suit too. A grand day out!

Mountain Scrambling Adventures
Scrambling involves easy climbing terrain to ascend mountains, ridges and summits - it means that you can get into some beautiful terrain and is a brilliant activity for families as you can adjust the level of challenge to suit everyone. There might be a scramble or mountain that you've always wanted to have a go at or our instructors will be able to match what you're after with a great day out.
We might use the rope for sections and 'spotting' for other parts, teaching all members of the family how to spot so that you can help safeguard and look after each other ready for future adventures too. Scrambling can show you well loved areas through different eyes or open up a host of new adventures too. Choose from the Peak District, Lake District or Snowdonia for a scrambling adventure.

Multi-Pitch Climbing
Climbing adventures that go above and beyond! A climbing 'pitch' is roughly the length of a climbing rope. Multi-pitch climbing therefore means that you climb to the top of a pitch (rope length), pull the rope up after you and then climb another pitch or more before returning to the ground. This means that you can get into some amazing adventures in the mountains as a family but fear not, they do not have to be hard or technical climbs. Our instructors have all levels of challenge from easy multi-pitch scramble level routes to get you started and confident in these wonderful environments as a family. Incredible adventures await!

Family Climbing Skills
Learn to climb independently as a family. A Family Climbing Skills day differs from a Rock Climbing day in that we spend the day looking at technical skills for you to be able to safely set up rock climbs for your and your family under your own steam.
We are passionate about teaching outdoor skills and have safe, simple systems to show you so that you and your family can head out to enjoy rock climbing when you want to. These skills are much more accessible and achievable than you might think and can lead to a lifetime of shared adventures together - we'd love to help you on that journey.
