About your mentor

Calvert Devon

Adventure without limits!

We are Calvert Devon! A gold-standard outdoor activity centre where adventure has no limits! Open to all and specialising in accessible activities for all abilities, we make the impossible possible. Feel the rush of zooming down a zip wire, conquering the climbing wall, paddling across open water, and taking on thrilling challenges you never thought possible. With expert support, specialist equipment and accommodation, we create epic and fully accessible adventures that break down barriers and build confidence, independence, and unforgettable memories that last a lifetime. Calvert Devon was previously named Calvert Exmoor.

Lunch

Example options we provide include hot food such as jacket potatoes with various fillings, pasta bakes, and grilled chicken breast with new potatoes and a selection of vegetables. Cold food items such as pasta salads and ham or tuna salads will be available alongside a daily salad bar consisting of coleslaw, potato salad, mixed leaf, cucumber and tomato, although we will encourage guests to have a hot meal where possible. Meals are designed to be easily replicated at home. This way, when young people enjoy the healthy meals served at Calvert Devon, they can share this with their families at home and we encourage them to recreate the meals together, creating an opportunity to discuss healthy eating and food preparation together.

What we'll do

February 16th - Morning (SEND and Higher Needs children) - Accessible Bikes February 20th - Afternoon (mainstream children) - Abseiling & Zipwire Bikes activity: With an impressive fleet of accessible bikes that cater to everyone’s needs, children can experience the joy, rush, and relaxation of our biking sessions around Wistlandpound Reservoir. You won’t find a traditional two-wheel bike here. Instead, we offer specially designed tricycles, handcycles, tandem bikes, and wheelchair front-loaders to suit all needs and preferences. The session is divided into manageable sections through the countryside route, with a ‘pit-stop’ halfway. Whether they're zooming around bends or relaxing at their own pace, our experienced staff will offer personalised support and instruction, ensuring everyone enjoys the benefits of biking. Abseiling & Zipwire activity: We have an outdoor abseiling wall suitable for use in all weather. Instructors explain the equipment and instructions, giving personalised advice and guidance throughout the session. Children will build confidence through the development of motor skills and coordination, as well as communication skills with fellow group members. Some children might find it more comforting to have someone abseil with them – in these situations, they can partner up and abseil side by side. Then it's on to the zipwire, where one by one, children are attached to our safety system through a harness. Once an instructor has completed all the necessary checks, it's time to fly down the wire and then zip back up to the start!
