Our highly qualified and knowledgeable instructors will engage all young people at every level to ensure an action packed and educational trip to remember.

Our tented Cumulus camps provide a unique setting in which everyone can relax in a camp exclusive to your group and under the expert care of your course director.

Hearty meals cooked by your own dedicated field chef, who can cater to your every need, complement the homely surrounds with spacious standup tents set around a central dining marquee and communal area.

Our services are individually tailored to deliver vibrant, dynamic and ever-evolving opportunities that connect with and inspire young people.

Youth Options employs a dedicated and passionate staff team, and group of committed volunteers. About 20 per cent of our services are open access for all young people, whilst 80 per cent are targeted projects delivered to young people with specific needs. We work with young people in a wide range of situations, including those in care, care leavers, those at risk of exclusion from school or society, those already excluded from mainstream education and young people who are NEET or likely to be NEET on leaving school.
