Multi-Activity Week at Arete Outdoor Centre

Five days of activities, chosen day by day. Each morning the instructors discuss the options with the groups and the whole group heads out for the day, either into Eryri (Snowdonia) or over to the Anglesey coast. Every activity the centre runs is available on this week.

The price covers the five-day activity course with instruction and equipment, accommodation at the centre and full catering. An extra night before the course or after it finishes is charged separately.

Participants stay at Arete Outdoor Centre itself, in one of its three buildings - the Main Centre, the West Wing or Bryn Eryr. Each area has its own communal space, and there is parking, an acre of grounds, a barbecue area and a pond outside.

The week is fully catered: meals are provided at the centre for the whole course.

Water days can include coasteering, gorge scrambling, canoeing, sea and white-water kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and surfing. Land days can include rock climbing, abseiling, mountain walking and scrambling, and trips into the abandoned slate mines of the area.

The centre provides the accommodation, catering and communal space; the activity days themselves run off site, in the mountains and rivers of Eryri (Snowdonia) and along the coastline of Anglesey.

The course starts at 12:00 on the first day and finishes at 15:00 on the last. Pick-ups and drop-offs are available to and from Bangor railway station, and there is a car park for anyone arriving by car. Participants at Gold level can use the week as their Duke of Edinburgh residential.
