Adventure Training

Our range of stimulating and inspiring physical and mental challenges will push your squad to a new level. We’ll help you to achieve your goals, improve communication, motivate and re-energise; develop leadership skills, strengthen relationships, build trust, increase team spirit and have fun.

We offer fully catered residential or day adventure training experiences and can tailor a package to meet your objectives.

Transitions Programme

Our aim is to provide support for former service personnel who may be struggling with the challenges and culture shock of adjusting to civilian life and a civilian workplace.

Our Transitions Programme will help participants to work on achieving individual and team objectives, push themselves to try new things and rebuild the confidence to go forward in their lives.

Accommodation in shared rooms, full English breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by our in house chefs and a range of challenging activities each day.

We believe a short break at Calvert Kielder can be a small step on the path to a much deserved and successful return to civilian life for our armed forces veterans.
