Located most favourably within the spectacular landscape of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, engaging fully with our natural surroundings has long been an integral part of the Sedbergh experience. From their very first day, when a trip to the summit of Winder marks their arrival in Year 9, young Sedberghians take part in the broadest variety of Adventure Activities throughout their time at School.

A Taste for Adventure

• The Y9 Adventure Programme takes place on Thursday afternoons and is structured around the John Muir Award, offering the hard skills acquisition and adrenalin of rock-climbing, caving, sailing, canoeing, ghyll-scrambling and mountain biking alongside the opportunity to learn about and work towards the protection of the Howgill Fells and our local community. During this time Year 9 also take part in overnight treks and camps, bush craft sessions where they learn to light fires, plant trees and build shelters, and workshops teaching valuable life skills such as navigation and wildlife identification.
• In Year 10, our intrepid Sedberghians can continue their adventures through a series of weekly taster sessions during the summer term. Our location allows us to challenge Sedberghians down caves, through ghylls and up crags all within a short drive of the School campus.
