Life is hard because it gives us the test first, then the lesson.

Challenging experiences offered by working out of doors, and the pure enjoyment gained from working together in a stimulating environment have long been recognised by generations of teachers, youth workers and instructors.

Vertical Descents offers a selection of activities and programmes which will appeal to young people. We offer a modern outdoor centre, creating a positive atmosphere and activities which are challenging, enjoyable and offer valuable learning experiences.

Working creatively in the outdoors with young people will always be one of the most powerful learning experiences we can offer.
