Youth Projects overview
Skern Lodge Programmes
Skern Lodge has an excellent reputation as a well-established provider of personal and team development programmes for young people.
We work with group leaders to prepare and deliver programmes specifically designed to meet the overall aims and objectives of each group.
The team of 15 experienced youth tutors at Skern Lodge communicate well with young people, guiding and influencing participants to increase their self-awareness, developing their key skills, along with their personal and interpersonal skills.
The programmes at Skern increase participants' confidence and self-esteem, as well as their teamwork and leadership skills.
The Residential
The length of the course is flexible to meet differing requirements, although week long courses are recommended. Some youth organisations may find young people can be motivated more to attend a programme that runs from Monday to Friday.
At Skern Lodge we can accommodate up to 200 people residentially, subject to availability. For safety on activities, the ratio of our tutors to participants is 1:8. For other parts of the personal development programme the group size can vary, with no more that 14 young people working together with one of our tutors.
The running of the course is monitored constantly by the Programme Manager and Chief Instructor, which is usual practise on Skern programmes.
