Get outdoors. Get moving. Explore. Play. Connect.
The Mountain Youth Fellowship is entering a new chapter — taking our regular youth sessions into the outdoors.
Meeting in parks, gardens, nature reserves and National Trust sites in and around Cambridge, the Fellowship creates a space for young people to build genuine friendships, connect with nature, get active, be creative, socialise and have fun together.
Sessions combine sports and games, outdoor exploration, nature connection, creative activities, team challenges and shared experiences. Rather than another classroom or structured lesson, we want young people to have the space to move, discover, talk, laugh, collaborate and develop relationships naturally.
