Adventure Therapy improves the emotional and physical wellbeing of children, young people and adults with unique health conditions, impairments or limitations through outdoor and adventure-led activities.

This means we help people with mental health conditions, neurodevelopmental disorders, physical disability, life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses and life-changing conditions. We make a positive difference in challenging and complex lives.

We believe that everyone should have an opportunity to explore and feel supported in developing or discovering their abilities. Our activities are filled with emotion and take place in various locations across Devon and Somerset. Through dramatic coastlines, open moorland, dense forests and tranquil inland waterways or the visceral power of the sea; we embrace the elements of every season so we can support our beneficiaries throughout the year.

The therapeutic benefits of time spent outdoors, in nature and adventure, should not be under-estimated. Our activities foster nature connection and nature contact and are grounded in therapeutic principles. We strengthen resilience and improve vitality and self-esteem. We provide a sense of accomplishment, helping people who are isolated  in rural and coastal communities to forge friendships and we create special memories for families. Our activity programmes build self-confidence and develop skills and abilities through structured individual and group sessions, team work and leadership.
