About Us
Transforming young lives through outdoor adventure…
Operating across Cornwall from our two outdoor sites near Penryn and Bodmin, we give children and young people the tools to identify and overcome their challenges, empowering them to thrive through outdoor adventure. We’re passionate about enabling them to overcome barriers to education, work and social interaction through our specialist individual support programmes and school group activities.

Our Services
Across our sites we offer adventurous activities that challenge, excite and teach new skills, from Via Ferrata to Zip Wire Safari, Tunnel Challenges, Quarry-steering, Watersports, Climbing, Archery, Bushcraft and more. These form the basis for our youth work and school programmes…
Specialist Support (Bodmin and Penryn)
We provide outdoor trauma informed youth work for those facing physical and or learning difficulties, mental ill-health and other impacts from Adverse Childhood Experiences.
School Groups (Penryn Only)
Our Residentials and Day Visits for both primary and secondary schools are linked to the PSHE Curriculum and build communication, teamwork and resilience.
“The staff at BF Adventure are highly skilled in engaging with children and young people and helping them to express their wishes and feelings. They help them to see themselves differently and to see their futures differently. Their inclusive approach helps them build more positive relationships with their families, schools and peer groups. This is more important than ever at a time when many young people are facing additional pressures and challenges.”
Our Social enterprise
In 2020 we launched our award-winning Outdoor Adventure Centre for the public…Via Ferrata Cornwall! Sharing our same stunning site near Penryn, this is open to everyone – children, families, groups of adults and businesses. Take your pick from Via Ferrata, Zip Wire Safari, Tunnel Challenges and more. Best of all, 100% of their profits support our charity!
