Terms and Information
The same friendly, professional instructor will run these sessions on most weeks. The price for a 6-week block is £80 per child. All equipment will be provided, your child will just need to wear comfortable sports clothing to suit the conditions and shoes that you are happy to get wet (old trainers/water shoes). Bring a towel, full change of clothes and spare shoes.
When a place becomes available, we will contact you to let you know. Payment is required in advance to confirm your child's place on a term. You will be given first refusal to attend the next term, on the 6th session of the block.
If we are forced to cancel a session, due to extreme weather or other reasons, we will let you know as soon as possible and rearrange the session to follow the term. The block is priced to account for a child missing an occassional session - there are no refunds for a missed session. If you wish to cancel membership mid-term, a refund for the remainder of the term will only be possible if the place is filled.

TALKIN TARN - ADVENTURE HOLIDAY CLUBS
School holidays are meant for adventure. Leave the screens at home and join us for an awesome day of outdoor adventure activities. Once booked, all you need to do is come along to Talkin Tarn near Carlisle. Bring a change of clothes and sense of adventure.
Talkin Adventures Adventure Holiday Clubs take place during Easter and Summer Holidays.
Each day will consist of two outdoor activities, with a fire for marshmallows at lunch time and plenty in between.
These days are open to all young people between the ages of 9 and 14. Places cost £45pp including lunch.
For those entitled to free school meals, funded places are usually available under the HAF scheme - subject to our being approved each time for funding.
SCHOOL HOLIDAY ADVENTURE FOR 9-14 YEAR OLDS
As an AALA certified activity centre, Talkin Adventures have all the experience and training to make sure you have a fantastic and safe day. You will be sure to have a great time trying new activities or maybe gaining some coaching to improve at something you've tried before.
If the weather is bad, we may be forced to adjust our plans, but we have plenty of options to keep going in most conditions that the Cumbrian weather throws at us.
Take a look at the individual event listings for the activities on each day. These will be from a range of Archery, Canoeing, Kayaking, Raft Building, Team Challenges, Orienteering, and Woodland Skills.
Drop-off is usually behind the Tea rooms, near to the education cabin at Talkin Tarn - ready for a 10am activity start. We aim to finish the activities for around 3pm. Please remember to bring a packed lunch, FULL CHANGE OF CLOTHES and SPARE SHOES, and any medication that you might need. We have waterproof tops available for you to borrow, and you will have access to warm showers and changing rooms incase you fall in the tarn.
