Lost Earth Adventures Yorkshire

What makes us a great choice for education

We provide students and youth groups with the opportunity to experience a real adventure, truly in nature and the wilderness. We offer an immersive experience in the great outdoors.

For many of our participants, this will be their first time leaving the city limits and our focus is on honing leadership, teamwork, confidence, discipline and trust, and give them a really fun time in the outdoors!

Our instructional team is not only passionate about sharing their knowledge but also exceptionally well-trained in delivering youth educational programming. Our office is prompt, proactive and logistically well-organised so that all the behind-the-scenes planning will be seamless.

We have several different locations across Nidderdale and the Yorkshire Dales that makes it easy for you to join us, no matter where you’re coming from.

You will get a bespoke, tailored itinerary and an experience that your organisation will remember for years to come.

Testimonials

“Lost Earth Adventures put on a fantastic day for our Year 6 children. Their staff had a great rapport with the children, encouraging everyone to get involved, but at the same time maintaining high standards of professionalism & safety throughout. I highly recommend them to schools wanting their children to experience fantastic outdoor adventurous activities.”

Matt Letham – Head Master, Orchard Head Primary School

It was great to see pupils emerge as natural leaders, share ideas and work through the tasks. The level of commitment and support shown for each other was outstanding and even the more nervous pupils helped support their teammates down tricky sections, whilst everyone cheered each other as they got lowered down steep waterfalls.

Thanks to the school staff and outdoor activity provider, Lost Earth Adventures, for organising such a great trip.

Adam Hughes – Outdoor Education Co-ordinator, Stockport Grammar School
