More about this Workshop/Service and the Provider
At the Maes y Lade Centre we understand that young people are all different and therefore learn in different ways. Recognising this fact means that we work with you in the lead up to your trip ensuring that your experience at Maes y Lade is designed to meet the individual needs of the young people, expectations of the teachers and the overall aims of your school/college trip.
Under the activities pages on his website we have noted some of the learning outcomes that can be incorporated and developed as part of the residential experience and activity programme whilst at the centre. Whether this is to cover areas of the curriculum, build confidence, have fun, develop team work, simply experience the outdoors or focus on developing life skills, we will work with you as part of this process.

Booking
Making a booking is very easy. Please email us with your requirements or call the centre to check our availability on the dates you would like to come; if the centre is available we will hold your provisional booking for fourteen days, giving you enough time to send a booking form and deposit to us. We will then work with you to develop an activity and residential programme that best meets your requirements. Full payment for your trip will need to be made ten weeks in advance of your stay.
If you wish to make a preview visit you are very welcome to do so. Simply contact us using the contact form below and we will be very happy to arrange a suitable date and time for you to come and see us.
Safety
This is our number one priority. Please note whilst we do a number of things to dynamically assess and manage risks in outdoor activity to reduce risk, it is impossible to remove risk completely. For information about Maes y Lade’s Adventurous Activities Licensing Authority (AALA) Licence, Safeguarding and DBS, Insurance, Staff, Risk Benefit Analysis and other useful information that needs to be read prior to your booking, please click safety page which will take you to our website.
Activities
As stated above, activities are programmed in consultation with you. You can read more about the activities that we offer and learning opportunities on our activities pages on our website. We will provide you with kit lists and other appropriate information once we have programmed in your activities.
Consent Forms
Parental Consent Forms and Medical Forms contain very important information which we take into account when planning the residential experience. These forms must be collated by the group leader and sent to us a minimum of two weeks before your group arrives at the centre. We can provide a standard consent and medical form if required.
Accommodation
There is room for 63 guests staying in doors (rooms vary from 3 – 11 beds), camping is also available on site.
Catering
We can cater for your group during your stay or if you prefer you can self-cater. Both residential buildings have kitchen facilities. If you chose to be catered for, we would programme an appropriate menu in consultation with you prior to your stay.
Testimonials
