What we do

Providing adventure breaks and holidays for people with disabilities

Enabling people with disabilities

Calvert Lakes provides adventure breaks and holidays for people with disabilities. A not-for-profit based in the stunning Lake District, we help children and adults with a range of disabilities overcome challenges and experience the benefit of the great outdoors.

From our specialist residential centre on the outskirts of Keswick, we offer individuals, families and groups the chance to experience everything the Lake District has to offer in a safe and supportive way. We welcome both day visitors to our pool and stables, as well as overnight guests on our residential activity breaks.

Why visit us?

It’s what we do that set us apart.

We see you

We focus on the person, not the disability. Our expert staff create inclusive, confidence-building breaks with fully accessible accommodation and tailored outdoor activities to ensure every guest experiences life-changing adventure here.

We challenge perception

Alongside activities that build confidence and facilitate teamwork, our guests develop life skills through everyday tasks – all while having fun with like-minded others. It’s what you can do that counts.

We create lasting change

The confidence, resilience and joy people find here precipitates real, lasting change in their daily lives. Finding the courage to try new things builds self-esteem and offers a positive outlook that continues afterwards.

We Care

We focus on the person, not the disability. Our expert staff create inclusive, confidence-building breaks with fully accessible accommodation and tailored outdoor activities to ensure every guest experiences life-changing adventure here.

You can make a difference

Our goal is to help more and more disabled people access the benefits of outdoor activity. If you are able, give a one-off sum now or choose to give monthly – we are so grateful for your support.
