Adventure Training is an important part of the ATC training programme. It combines certain aspects of the general training programme and outdoor activities. It's aim is to build up an individuals confidence, and promote team work with an element of adventure and fun.

The training programme covers map reading, use of a compass, cooking, food, use of stoves and emergency procedures. Cadets attend a 'camp' of one or two days, or even a week, putting into practice what has been learnt and also learning new skills ie: climbing, abseiling, mountain biking, canoeing to name but a few.

Each Squadron has a person appointed to be the Adventure Training Officer and they organise the Squadrons own programme of Adventure Training. It could be in the local area or further afield such as the Peak District or North Wales.

All the training is given by qualified people who will guide cadets through the exciting world of Adventure Training.

Also under the heading of Adventure Training are courses for Parachuting, Hang Gliding, Sailing, Skiing, and Outward Bound. Each year this Wing selects cadets to participate in Adventure Training at the ATC Adventure Training Centres at Windermere in the Lake District and Llanbedr, North Wales.
