We believe everyone…
…whatever their age or ability. Our goal is to make this philosophy a reality, and provide the best accessible adventure breaks to all.
If you’re looking for a fun-filled break full of adventure that puts people with disabilities first, we’d love to welcome you for a stay!
Our fully accessible centre is registered with the Activities Licensing Authority for Activity Providers (AALA), and accredited to the Association of Heads of Outdoor Centres (AHOEC) Gold Standard. The highly experienced instructors are qualified by national governing bodies such as the British Canoeing, RYA Sailability, and British Horse Society and are expertly trained to work with individuals with a range of needs.
This means that regardless of age or ability, guests can visit with family, friends, classmates and carers to experience exciting, challenging and enjoyable activities.
Plus, to make everything even easier, breaks at the North Devon centre are all-inclusive of activities, accommodation, meals and use of the facilities.
In Jake’s own words…
Lizzie – Paratriathlete
After a tragic accident, Lizzie came to Calvert Exmoor to change her outlook, leading to Paratriathlete glory.
Lizzie told us: “I lost pretty much everything following the accident – my mobility, my home, my job, my identity and my self-confidence…I really didn’t know what I was going to do with my life. How can everything have gone so wrong?”
But after her visit, she said: “I achieved all my goals, so I felt very content…I felt the confidence gained could also be transferred to other areas of my life and how much everyone had inspired me.
The next day, my parents picked me up and they said my face had completely changed. The sadness had gone, and I looked bright and positive.”
Carmela
A friendly young girl with a rare, life-limiting disease that weakens her muscles, heart and lungs.
Carmela visited with her mum Lucy, who said: “We knew Carmela’s condition would be catered for at the centre so we didn’t have any reservations about taking part in every activity. Carmela took part in abseiling, in which she was strapped to a wheelchair and couldn’t stop laughing at me screaming with fear, she thought it was highly hilarious.
It was a brilliant weekend, all staff were fantastic and Carmela enjoyed every moment. She already wants to come back. It really is a place which caters for ALL disabilities, young and old, mobile or immobile. A place for all the family to participate without leaving someone out.”
