Caerphilly Adventure Group (CAG)
The Caerphilly Adventure Group (CAG) provides outdoor activity opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. Caerphilly Adventure Group is made up of a team of volunteers that work in partnership with Caerphilly County Borough Council's Outdoor Education provision, namely, Caerphilly Adventures.
All official CAG activities are covered by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (AALA) via Caerphilly Adventures. Such events are also covered by CCBC’s public liability insurance.
This allows CAG to provide adventurous activities to children and young people under the age of 18 within the scope of the licence. These activities include:
- Water sports
- Trekking
- Indoor climbing
- Events exploring local environmental and history
Adult activities undertaken by the group include:
- Kayaking, canoeing and stand up paddle (SUP) Boarding
- Mountaineering and hill walking
- Camping and expedition
- Bushcraft
- Gorge walking and Adventure Walking
- Cycling
- Hostel weekends
Many of our volunteer leaders hold National Governing Body Awards such as Mountain Leader Award, Climbing Wall Award, Mountain Bike Leader, Paddlesport Coach and first aid training.
Our ethos is to invest in volunteers by securing funding to develop their skills and qualifications so in return they can arrange and lead activities for CAG.
