Youth Zone for ages 13-17yrs
Summer Multi activity courses
We have week & weekend courses to choose from. The courses have been designed by Back-Up and The Calvert Trust to introduce you to lots of different activities in an enjoyable, safe, fun and supportive environment.
Nobody will make you do anything that you really don’t want to do, but we hope that with the support of the group you will feel able to try everything. The course is led by a Back-Up Trust leader, with expert spinal staff from spinal units contributing too. All activities are led by the qualified and experienced instructors.
