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 try to subsidise youth group residentials where possible. Please ring or email us to make an enquiry.
