Annington Challenge: Adventures for Service Community Youth

The Annington Challenge offers a chance for young people, between 10-19, in service families, to experience an outbound summer adventure, subsidized by Annington (up to 90%). You can choose from four courses: a 5-day adventure, a 7-day adventure, a 14-day adventure or a 19-day adventure. From the moment you arrive, you'll be immersed in spectacular scenery.
