We take pride in the quality of the activities that we deliver and the positive benefits they have on your students. All of our headline activities take place immersed in the real environment. Something we feel very strongly about... Real Adventure means REAL Rivers, REAL Mountains, REAL Lakes, REAL Crags and best of all, giving your students a REAL Experience.
Rock Climbing Our Rock Climbing sessions take place at one of our stunning locations in the UK and Europe. From small limestone cliffs overlooking the Welsh coastline to towering crags nestled amongst the tree lined gorges of the Ardeche. Climbing is often merged wth Abseiling to really ensure your students get the best from the activity. Lead Instructor Qualification: SPA Ratio: 1 Lead & 1 Assistant to 12 Locations: All Summer (Indoor available on ski trips)
Canyoning Canyoning is a real headline activity - making our way down through stunning gorges and canyons using abseils, jumps, slides and swims to negotiate the wet and wild terrain. This activity combines a whole host of skills and teamwork. The locations for canyoning are changable to suit group ability and weather conditions during your visit. Lead Instructor Qualification: SPA + MLT + SRT Ratio: 1 Lead & 1 Assistant to 12 Locations: All Summer - Gorge Scrambling in UK

Canoeing & Kayaking We love watersports here at Atlas and offer exciting sessions in both canoeing and kayaking at all of our Summer residential bases. For younger students our sessions are delivered on beautifully positioned mountain lakes with amazing views and quiet spots for teaching on. On trips with older students you may choose to do your canoeing or kayaking on one of our hand picked stretches of river... Lead Instructor Qualification: BCU Level 2/3 Coach Ratio: 1 Lead & 1 Assistant to 12 Locations: All Summer
Raft Building A classic activity which is a combination of teamwork, communication, planning and of course building a raft! The activity can be tailored to encompass almost any scenario you wish it to or simply just for a bit of fun. Teachers beware! Our instructors have often used raft building as an activity to get you 'fairly damp'! Lead Instructor Qualification: BCU Level 1 Coach Ratio: 1 Lead to 12 Locations: All Summer

Bushcraft An activity which takes students back to basics. They will have to build a shelter, learn different ways to light small fires, cook something to eat and make a hot drink. This activity can be offered as a stand alone session or can be included alongside an activity such as canoeing for the fuller experience. Lead Instructor Qualification: In house assessed Ratio: 1 Lead to 12 Locations: All Summer
Mountain Hike As most of our residential bases are in mountainous environments it would be a shame not to get up into the mountains... The best way to do this is on foot. Students will learn how to navigate, observe weather and a whole host of mountain skills, taught by our Mountain Leaders. For older students there is the option to add an overnight wild camp on the mountain to really add to the experience. Lead Instructor Qualification: ML/IML Ratio: 1 Lead to 12 Locations: All Summer

White Water Rafting A real headline activity. Rafting is an action packed, adrenaline ride down some of the most amazing rivers in Europe. This activity in each location has different levels of 'difficulty' and as such the river to be used will be decided by the ability of the group in consultation with you. Lead Instructor Qualification: IRF Ratio: 1 Lead to 8 (Raft) Locations: Switzerland/Austria
Supplementary Activities We also have a range of additional activities which in certain locations can be added into your programme. These can be used to add more structure to the evening programme, achieve additional learning objectives or perhaps to increase the range of activities on offer.
