Our very best New Year wishes come with a fascinating picture from the illuminated Skypark of Carlingford Adventure Centre (CAC) in the Republic of Ireland. We picked this picture for two reasons: First of all, our congratulations go to them for the successful completion of the training body audit. We look forward to heartily welcome our new ERCA-certified training body soon.

Secondly, the impressing picture shows that an Adventure Park can operate all year long with adaptations to the technical setup or the conceptual framework. We think, this is a good example for how to increase the days of operation over the year and to secure jobs year-round.

Carlingford Adventure Centre is offering exciting outdoor adventures for families, groups and individuals. There are full day and half day options available throughout the year, and kids camps during Easter, Summer, and Halloween/Autumn. They have over 30 activities on the three adventure sites: Land, Sea and Sky.
