Challenging, Adventurous Activities in the fabulous countryside of the Lake District National Park

Situated at the foot of Skiddaw and on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake, The Lake District Calvert Trust provides challenging residential outdoor activity courses for people with physical, sensory and/or learning disabilities. We have the ability to introduce those with even the most severe and complex disabilities to the wonderful world of outdoor adventure! We believe that 'it's what you can do that counts!'

The first of our 3 Calvert Trust Centres, The Lake District Calvert Trust works with all guests to encourage them to push their boundaries and to realise just what they can achieve through the challenge and education of outdoor activity in an awesome and inspiring landscape.
