BAHA Celebrates 25 Years

6th April 2011

25 years is a long time in politics...and in the Activity World, but that's how long the British Activity Holiday Association has been representing providers in the commercial sector of our industry. 2011 is BAHA's Silver Anniversary year.

Originally, the Association's main interest was in children's summer camps, but members were also attracting school groups to participate in activity courses. Today, BAHA members welcome a wide range of holiday and school customers and offer an extensive list of activities at centres across the country.

Initially the outdoor establishment, consisting of statutory and charitable organisations, was reluctant to let BAHA in and appeared sceptical of their values. Since those days, though, BAHA has played a major role in the development of both activity and learning standards, and the procedures to verify them, and it has earned the respect of others in the industry.

So what has BAHA achieved in 25 years? It has established an association of professional providers which have standards and values; it has introduced millions of children to the joy and benefits of adventure sports and activities; it has introduced tens of thousands of staff to careers in the outdoors, adventure world or care professions; and it has done all this with a smile on its face. Happy Anniversary, BAHA.

As a special offer in its 25th year, BAHA is advertising Associate Membership for just £25 + VAT per centre. For further details email info@baha.org.uk.
