Cadets with Squadrons within Warwichshire & Birminghan Wing will have the opportunity to take part in all forms of adventure training such as expeditions, camping, escape and evasion and initiative exercises. Our cadets will also have the chance to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme. In addition to Squadron and Wing organised events, cadets may also get the chance to go to one of the ATC's adventure training centres for climbing, canoeing or camping. Cadets from the Wing have also had the opportunity to go skiing, offshore sailing and parachuting.

Squadrons within the Warwickshire and Birmingham Wing have the use of accommodation at the Wing Adventure Training Establishment - Elan Valley in mid-Wales. Groups of cadets from the wing regularly use the Elan Valley camp as a base from which to conduct adventure training exercises and expeditions. This facility enables our cadets to get out into unfamiliar countryside and put their navigation and camp craft training into practice.

All Adventure Training activities are conducted under the strict supervision of suitably qualified instructors.
