Youth groups
You are welcome to use the hostel and grounds for day/evening activities or residentials. Here are some of the groups who have visited Derwentwater Independent Hostel recently:
- Scout groups (for instance: Eden District Cubs, Essex Scouts Mountaineering Group, and Sheffield Scouts)
- National Citizen Service groups
- The CLIP project: a youth volunteering scheme run by The Conservation Volunteers
- Youth rugby clubs
- Young and Sweet Youth Group from Northumberland
- North Copeland Youth Group from Cumbria
- Duke of Edinburgh Award groups
- Encompass: The Daniel Braden Reconciliation Trust
- Albemarle Barracks Youth Club
We want to share Barrow House and the Lake District with as many young people as possible, and so we have a fund for subsidising youth group residentials. Click here for a poster and information sheet about the fund and residentials, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
