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.

“Just to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU from the young people and Staff for making us so welcome during our days and weekends with you in 2024. Without your instructors help, patience and expertise the young people would not have been able to participate in such a wide variety of activities and fun. We always look forward to our time at Calvert Lakes.”
