The Caldecotte Xtreme 2027
Gather your team. Take on the challenge. Help change young lives.
Get ready for Caldecotte Xtreme — our biggest fundraising event yet!
Now in its fourth year, Caldecotte Xtreme is an unforgettable team challenge across The Caldecotte Xperience outdoor education centre in Milton Keynes. You could find yourselves climbing, abseiling, canoeing, tackling caves, testing your aim and taking on challenges that put your teamwork to the test.
You don’t need to be an athlete. Just be ready to have a go, challenge yourself, have fun – and expect to get a little wet and muddy along the way.
Most importantly, by taking part in the challenge you’ll be helping Action4Youth create more opportunities for local children and young people.
A taste of the challenge
With activities on land, at height and on the water, you can expect adventure, laughter and a bit of friendly competition.
The ultimate team challenge
Bring together colleagues, friends or family and see what you’re capable of as a team.
Caldecotte Xtreme is perfect for:
- businesses looking for a team-building or fundraising challenge with a purpose;
- colleagues who want to take on something memorable together;
- groups of friends looking for their next adventure;
- anyone who wants to challenge themselves while supporting local young people.
What your team will get:
- a place at Caldecotte Xtreme 2027;
- fundraising support and resources;
- support from the Action4Youth team;
- materials to help you promote your challenge;
- an Xtreme medal;
- a bacon or vegan butty at the finish;
- event photography to share afterwards.
Why take part for Action4Youth?
Action4Youth helps children and young people explore what is possible, develop the skills to thrive and find a place where they belong.
Through outdoor learning, youth clubs and safe spaces, mentoring and targeted programmes, we give young people opportunities, experiences and support that can make a lasting difference.
Sometimes it starts with a small moment: a first go at climbing, a conversation with a trusted adult, a place where someone feels listened to, or the realisation that they are capable of more than they thought.
Caldecotte Xtreme is our biggest fundraising event of the year.
By taking part and fundraising, your team makes more of those moments possible.

If you have any other question contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Who can take part?
Caldecotte Xtreme is completed in teams of 6 people.
Participants must be aged 8 or over. You don't need previous experience or a particular level of fitness – it's about teamwork, getting involved and having fun.
How much does it cost?
It costs £300 to register a team.
Each participant is then asked to raise a minimum of £175 in sponsorship, or your team can make a £1,000 donation in addition to the registration fee.
How long does it take?
The challenge itself takes around two hours. Please allow approximately three hours for the full experience, including arrival and briefing. Your team will be allocated an arrival time before the event.
What should we wear?
Wear comfortable clothing suitable for being active on both land and water. Quick-drying clothing is recommended and we'd advise avoiding denim – wet jeans and obstacle courses aren't the best combination. You'll also need sturdy footwear suitable for running, climbing and outdoor activities.
Can people come and watch us?
Absolutely. Cheer squads are very welcome. We'll provide further information about spectators before the event.
What if someone doesn't want to complete an obstacle?
That's fine. We want Caldecotte Xtreme to be challenging but enjoyable. Our experienced team will be there throughout the event, and you won't be forced to complete an activity you're uncomfortable with.
