967 Sqn Air Cadets

What are you doing this weekend?

AT – Adventure Training

Negotiating a river crossing in the Penines

As with most Air Cadet units, 967 are heavily involved with Adventure Training in a number of formats. These only currently include Walking, Hiking,  Climbing, Paddlesports and Biking due to the covid restrictions but more activities will become available as the restrictions are lifted.

All the staff hold national governing body qualifications so you can be assured you are in safe hands!

Something for everyone

Remember, whatever your personal tastes, nothing is compulsory. There is a wide range of adventurous activities to get stuck into, so if climbing isn’t for you perhaps canoeing is. Sometimes what’s on offer depends on the Squadron you attend, but everything you do is supervised by qualified trainers who will ensure you get the most out of it. 

Between local activities and visits to camps, you will have the chance to experience kayaking, hill walking, camping, caving, mountain biking, offshore sailing and winter sports to name just a few.
