Saturday Club is Changing!

Due to the growing popularity of both our Saturday Club and our Public sessions, we have decided to rebrand both under the same new title of
The Adventure Club.

Membership to the adventure club is £3 per year, however you do not have to be a member to attend an activity session.  Prices for members will remain as they are for 2012, £6 for a 90 minute session and £14 for a 3 hour session.  However, prices for non members will go up, £7 for 90 minutes and £16 for 3 hours.

Under 8's are now welcome! Previously, all activities have only been available for children aged 8 and over.  We would like to offer younger children the opportunity to come along and have a go at climbing or archery.  However they must be accompanied by a participating adult.

Sundays! During the summer there will now be something on offer every day of the week, as we will be running Adventure Club activities on Sundays.

Canoe Litter Pick Team

LOPC's New River Litter Pick Team





LOPC is now recruiting for litter pickers to come and enjoy canoeing while helping to clean up the River Soar. It is completely free to join and there is no obligation once you have joined to attend every meeting. We just want enthusiastic volunteers to come along help pick some of the rubbish that plagues our river.

We will be looking to meet up every few months to spend a few hours just trying to get rid of the mountains of rubbish that finds it's way into the river.

Our first litter pick will be 28th January 12:30 to 3:30.

Children from Chernobyl Visit LOPC


 


Saturday 17th September 2011 saw a group of 10 young people from Chernobyl visited the Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre. They came from social situations where it is difficult to get the care and attention they require. They arrived undernourished and shabby and stayed with Host Families for a month. It is believed that by being shown some love and attention, being well fed and experiencing a good life, they return to Belarus with hope and the possibility of extending their lives by some 5 years.

Customer Testimonial - Summer Holiday Scheme

This week we received feedback from a parent of a child that has attended the Summer Holiday Scheme this year. They were keen for their comments to be passed on to the staff and supporters of LOPC.

“Firstly me and Reece want to say a massive thank you to yourself and all the staff and helpers. Reece has had a brilliant time and loved every second of his time there and he will definitely be back, everyone was very helpful especially yourself from the moment you showed us around. It was brilliant to see his face and know that while I am at work he is being looked after and that you offer extended hours to fit in with parent's needs. He will certainly be coming back in the future”
