Explorers, for 14-18 year olds

Our Explorers are a go-getting group of young people aged 14 to 18. They meet every Thursday between 19:00 and 21:00.

The Leaders at Highweek Explorers simply use their own names and are led by Anthony who has been a Leader at Highweek for over 5 years. Other Section Team Leaders at Explorers are Jason & Andy. A number of Explorers are Young Leaders at the other Sections.

Discover the world

Being an Explorer is all about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.

Alongside your new friends, you’ll master the skills that will make you feel stronger and happier in the long run, and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school.

Whether you’re hiking to faraway lands or building a robot in your local town hall, you’ll have the freedom to choose what you’d like to do, and work together with adults to make it happen.

Start small, but think big

Explorers stand up for what they believe and make a difference on their own doorstops, confident in the knowledge that their daily actions add up.

Seek out the answers to big questions

Explorers seek out the answers to the big questions, and to the smaller questions that don’t seem to matter but really should.

Most importantly, they say yes more often than they say no – whether they’re signing up for their first major hike across Europe, or writing their first line of code, or accepting the last of the toasted marshmallows.

Sound like fun? That’s because it is. All that’s missing is you.
