“We want to teach young people how to become inspirational leaders, effective team players, confident decision makers and more resilient individuals in the outdoors, so that they can thrive in later life.”

FIRST EVER ADVENTURE CADET CLUB IN DUBAI

We are not the Scouts and we are not the Army Cadets, but we are definitely a hybrid of the two. A blend of both worlds, a fusion of two great organisations that offer countless opportunities for young people to thrive and develop. We are a new adventure cadet force, aimed at 6 – 16 year olds, led and operated by British Ex-Military instructors and known as The Overlord Academy. Our small troops come together weekly and at occasional weekends for fun, friendship, action and adventure.

“Our daughter learnt important life skills, gaining a confidence & autonomy beyond her years during her three years with The Overlord Academy. A tremendous institution & I thoroughly recommend it for all children & parents.”

Mark Wellington - TOA Parent

“Both my sons were with The Overlord Academy for more than 3 years and they loved it. They learned so much from it and enjoyed every bit of their experience there. Thanks to all the staffs.”

Kaouter Afkir - TOA Parent

“My daughter has been part of TOA for the last 4 years, and as parents we believe is one of the best activities that a kid has in Dubai. It teaches discipline, respect, life values, surviving skills, first aid tips, resilience, physical endurance, team work, friendship.. and much more, always having fun and enjoying all the outdoor scenarios that UAE offers. The camps are so well organised that I wish I was still young to be able to participate :)”
