WHAT WE DO

At Birmingham (Vernon) the aim is to give young people (Aged 9-18) an experience that will help them grow into the person they want to be in a safe and friendly environment. Through various activities and adventures, we learn teamwork, respect, loyalty, self-confidence, commitment, self-discipline, honesty and how to be the best version of ourselves.

You learn life skills. I was 12, very quiet and shy. Cadets makes you find the confidence. You feel part of something special (Serafina, 15)

We offer a range of different activities from sailing, windsurfing and powerboating – to rock climbing, camping, and music – plus, so much more! At Birmingham (Vernon) you are also able to gain different qualifications that you can take with you once you leave Sea Cadets!

“It makes me feel I can do things others can’t. I don’t want to stay in my house every day. I want to see how the world is.” (Shaun, 13)

It is our priority to make sure that Sea Cadets is a safe environment young people can go to, to be themselves. Click here to find out more about how we safeguard our young people.
