Here at Lakeside we have over 400 acres of private woodland on the South Western shores of Windermere with on site accommodation for over 200 people.  We are one of the largest outdoor centres in Europe and offer learning through outdoor experience.The YMCA has been here for over 50 years and our core mission has always been, and continues to be, helping young people build a future.  We work with schools, youth and corporate groups from all over Europe in helping them achieve their learning and development objectives through outdoor activity.  These objectives can range from getting everyone together for a fun getaway and helping build better teams, to in depth development goals linked with leadership, communication and improving confidence.  Our qualified and experienced instructors make sure that all activity programmes are designed with each client in mind to provide everyone with a different, unique experience.We also have large group and conference rooms available for you to hold meetings, seminars etc., the most impressive of which is The Chapel Theatre; a large room that can hold up to 100 people with breathtaking views over the Lake.As an educational charity (charity No. 1074571), all profits made from programmes at Lakeside go directly back into developing the centre and subsidising youth programmes to ensure that this facility continues to grow and improve and help young people build a future for many years to come.
