The Snapshot Survey is a UK-wide joint project, that is establishing an evidence base regarding participation levels and incident characteristics across outdoor adventurous activities. The survey has been running over the course of 2026, and is now looking ahead to 2027.
Therefore we are looking for participation from a wide range of organisations involved in the delivery of activities that could fall within the description of Outdoor Adventurous Activities.
They will be asked to submit their organisations relevant participation and incident data over six separate two-week blocks throughout 2027 (i.e. total of 12 weeks).
Our aim is for this to enable us to have a greater understanding of;
- Participation levels, including across activities and client groups
- Residential and expedition overnight stays
- Incidents and their features, comparing them against participation levels
For more information, please look at the following documents.
