Hindleap: Where adventures happen
As part of the charity London Youth, we’re on a mission to improve the lives of young people.
Inspiring young adventurers
Every day, we challenge young people to be the best they can be through exciting outdoor learning activities. We give them the tools to build confidence, develop essential life skills and form meaningful connections.
Transforming young lives
Hindleap is one of two outdoor centres run by London Youth, a charity focused on helping young people build essential life skills and get involved in youth action, sports, arts and make a difference in their communities. We work with young people from London and the local area, offering a range of programmes that boost confidence, teach new skills and help them reach their full potential. Whether it’s outdoor adventures or sports activities, we’re here to support young people as they grow in a fun, safe and welcoming environment.
“The whole experience provided our children with something that most of them have never experienced before.”
Ark Oval Primary School
Our roots
Our roots date back to the 1600s! The centre is a purpose built outdoor centre with everything in the one building, from the accommodation, dining room, classroom/breakout spaces, sensory room and tuck shop. The centre has five accommodation zones sleeping up to 164 young people and 20 leaders total. Each accommodation zone has dormitory style bedrooms with separate young people and leader bedrooms and bathrooms.
Meet our team
Our instructors are experienced, have a broad range of qualifications and they love to work with a wide and diverse range of young people. Their job is to support every person who visits Hindleap to be the best they can be. You might also meet some of our senior management team on your visit. They’re here to make sure the time you spend at Hindleap is fulfilling and well-organised.
Looking after you, and our green spaces
From the moment you arrive, your safety is our priority. Our fully qualified instructors and DBS-checked staff will make you feel comfortable, whether you’re here for a day trip or an overnight stay. We’re also committed to protecting the environment, and sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from our outdoor activities to the way we manage our facilities.
