High Hopes for Special Needs Adventures
Activity Adventures for 2011
For 2011 we are running five exciting adventure holiday trips. These trips are designed for those with some disability which prevents them from joining mainstream adventure activities. The object is to give the ‘Adventurers’ a sense of achievement and to encourage more independence and self-confidence and above all to have fun. If you are up for an adventure, but need that extra hand to enable you to take part, then this could well be the trip for you!
The only requirements needed to take part are a keen sense of adventure, a willingness to try something different and a good sense of humour!!
Dartmoor Adventure Week
A six day adventure based in the middle of Dartmoor National Park. Canoeing, climbing, walking, abseiling and raft building are all explored under expert and qualified guidance. This adventure is based at Powder Mills Bunkhouse a comfortable granite built bunkhouse with log fire and excellent facilities. This is a very popular trip that High Hopes has run many times.
River Dart Adventure
A six day adventure based on the banks of the River Dart in our private campsite. Canoeing, walking, and bushcraft skills are all explored under expert and qualified guidance. For this trip we shall be camping in the beautiful wooded estate that once belonged to Sir Walter Raleigh just outside Dartmouth in Devon.
River Wye Canoe Expedition
A six day adventure based at Preston on Wye where we will camp, each day we will be launching from a different location to take in as much as the river as possible as every section is different. The River Wye flows through some of the most pleasant Welsh border country. The river is teeming with bird life, swans, ducks and sand martins galore.
Spanish Activitiy Experience
We have decided to visiting the lovely mountain village of Sella again. Staying in a 300 year old farmhouse surrounded by typicalSpanash terraces with oranges,lemons and avocado trees, giivng a real old style Spanish feel. It is an ideal base for canoeing, exploring the countryside, climbing and having fun. ther will be plenty of time to relax and swim after the days activities.
