Adults
Adult courses are for those aged 18* or over who may be visiting the centre on their own or with a small group of other adults. The courses are of 3 different durations and run on set dates through the course of the year.
Participants may be an individual coming on their own and require no, or very low levels of support, or an adult who requires care support coming with a friend, family member, or professional carer. We ensure that everyone has a challenging and adventurous stay, while also having the opportunity to socialise and make full use of our facilities. Where possible we match different ages and physical abilities in activity groups together – however, we reserve the right to mix groups in instances of insufficient take-up.
Did you know?
Only ONE person – adult or child – in your group or family needs to be disabled and you will qualify to use Calvert Lakes.

Financial support
We understand that a visit to Calvert Lakes or Stables comes with a cost that must be covered. That's why a key part of our fundraising effort is around securing bursary funding to help offset some of the costs of a residential stay with us. Thanks to the hard work of our fundraising team, we have regular releases of bursary funding that can further help support your residential stay with us. Obviously you'll need to meet some criteria so read on for an overview - or why not just give us a call and let's find out if you qualify.
Do you qualify?
How do I qualify for Bursary Funding?
- Criteria vary by funder e.g. by geographic location, age, disability, disadvantage
- The maximum bursary funding available on any booking is 25% of the total price
- We prioritise bursary for groups, families or individuals staying outside of the peak summer months
- During term time, bursary is prioritised for groups, families or individuals on weekend stays
- Should you qualify for a bursary, we need to provide the funder with feedback. This could take the form of an informal in-stay chat or feedback/information about your visit or a post-visit feedback form, supplying or us taking photos/video of your stay and/or a quote. Rest assured, all feedback will only be used for the funders internal use only, unless otherwise advised.
