Why kids make a solid start at Rock UK

With a legacy dating back more than a century, Rock UK Adventure Centres offer more than 40 instructed activities designed to build confidence, resilience and teamwork in young people and adults alike.

Operating in four areas – Frontier Centre in Northamptonshire, Carroty Wood in Kent, Summit Centre in South Wales and Whithaugh Park in the Scottish Borders, Rock UK provides immersive experiences in stunning natural settings.

Each centre offers tailored programmes for schools, youth groups, churches, families and corporate teams, with activities ranging from climbing, abseiling, and archery to kayaking, zip wires and mountain biking.

The flagship Frontier Centre boasts 122 acres of woodland and water, featuring an aerial adventure course, lakeside activities and versatile accommodation for groups of six to 200 – including its new tented village.

Steve Hallett, director of operations and income generation, told CRE News: ‘It’s a hub for personal growth, leadership development and unforgettable memories. Every activity is led by qualified instructors, ensuring a safe and supportive environment where participants can challenge themselves and grow.

‘Our mission is rooted in Christian values. In addition to our outdoor adventure programme, we run an instructor training programme for young adults looking to train as outdoor instructors.’

Whether it’s a school residential, a youth retreat, or a family adventure day, Rock UK delivers high-impact experiences that go beyond the ordinary.
