Challenge The Wild XL are hosting an Adventure Festival in September, to offer those who have recovered from cancer, are living with cancer, or want to support someone who has experienced this illness, the opportunity to take part in an organised adventure based event; guided by professional instructors. The event provides a range of positive physical and mental health benefits and the opportunity to take part in outdoor adventure in a safe setting. Joining each event will be some inspirational speakers, who will share their own experience of cancer, and the strategies they used to overcome adversity. Together, we will show there is life after cancer and that there are no boundaries in what we can achieve.
Adventure Event | Coniston | 23 and 24 September 2023
This Adventure event is an exhilarating and uplifting outdoor adventure. Under the watchful eye of highly-trained instructors, participants will be encouraged and empowered as they take on a series of challenges, specially designed to help build team spirit and self-confidence. Before they know it, they’ll be facing fears and achieving more than they ever believed they could. You don’t have to be fighting fit or as strong as an ox to take part; a positive attitude and a good sense of humour are far more important.
Challengers will be able to experience activities such as waterfall jumping, canyoning, rock scrambling, abseiling, hiking and canoe rafts. And as it’s an overnight event; there will be the chance to sleep under the stars, enjoy locally produced food and make the most of the onsite bar.
