Caving for team Building and Education

Carlton Lodge Activity Centre near Thirsk, North Yorkshire has announced new courses in Caving for team building and education that provides a range of subterranean experiences.

Caving instructor George Plant who has recently completed the British Caving Association’s (BCA) highest instructing award, the Caving Instructors Certificate (CIC), will deliver the courses that offer three levels:

  • Introductory Caving – suitable for novices
  • Intermediate Caving – For those with some previous underground experience who want a taste of the vertical.
  • Advanced Caving – For those who have experienced caving and want to go further.

Caving courses begin at £170 per person including full board accommodation.

David Sharp, chief executive said: “Caving is a fascinating experience and in North Yorkshire we have the premier caving region in the British Isles. Our skilled and qualified instructors will show students the experiences from a choice of suitable caves where they will discover it is unlike anything else.”

The courses are ideal for corporate groups for team building and challenge events for normally desk-bound executives and other adults seeking an extreme adventure experience for leisure.

“As alien as scuba-diving or space-travel but available to all, caving provides ‘dirty-learning’ that children and adults can all enjoy“. added George Plant, caving instructor at Carlton Lodge.
