OUR HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY
YD started in 1991 at Park School, Dartington. Indie Lyndale was the climbing instructor from the very first year and then became manager in 2002. She took it over completely in 2008 with her family and they have been running it as a family business ever since.
We value doing real activities in real places, getting covered in face paint and really enjoying the summer and surroundings up here in Dartington. We employ dedicated and qualified adults who love the activities they instruct.
We are very child-centric and place great emphasis on the individual child’s freedom to choose what they want to do, when and with whom. It’s their holiday after all.
There is always lots to learn at YD but it’s not at all like school. Learning is something which happens naturally at YD and doesn’t have to be forced.
