What and how we do it.
Introduction
Adventure Dolphin’s function is to provide Outdoor Activities for the Children & Young People Services across West Berkshire, primarily for the 13-19 year olds, but our extensive programme caters for people of all ages, from 8 – 80. Numerous youth clubs are also run within the Centres and all are identified within the brochure.
Our extensive range of well maintained outdoor equipment is sufficient to facilitate and service all kinds of outdoor activities and expeditions, from a DofE expedition in a remote wilderness area to a day spent canoeing or team building. Adventure Dolphin operates to the highest safety standards and is licensed by the Adventure Activity Licensing Authority for kayaking, canoeing, kayak surfing, rock climbing, abseiling, hill walking, mountaineering, gorge scrambling and off road cycling. Licence no. L5696/R0588 Pangbourne. We offer a wide range of specialist courses both in land and water based activities, whether it is at a novice or advanced level. We pride ourselves on offering high value training at competitive prices. Adventure Dolphin is fully recognised and approved by the British Canoe Union and has been awarded the prestigious Sports Council CLUBMARK, GOLD and TOP CENTRE status, one of only two in Southern England. It also conforms to the guidelines laid down by other national governing bodies. Staff are highly qualified under the various governing bodies to instruct / coach and are approved by West Berkshire Council for leading hazardous activities. They have all undertaken an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check and hold first aid or lifesaving qualifications. A team of highly qualified volunteers deliver a large proportion of the programme, whose commitment and support enables us to provide such a varied programme.
