The new offer, called Be Epic, will run in July and August for 15- to 17-year-olds who will take part in a four-night programme which involves outdoor activities such as climbing, abseiling, raft building and caving. Young people will then take part in a further week's social action project in their local communities.
YHA (England and Wales) will deliver the programme to 4,300 young people alongside a further 49 partners over 110 venues.
Overall, around 48,000 young people are expected to take part in the NCS's summer 22 programme compared with 80,774 young people who took part in summer residential 2019/20 prior to the pandemic.
