Activity days

Our activity days offer a wide range of water and land-based experiences for pupils.

If you are looking for an exciting, safe and fun way to bring more to the school year, why not consider an 'activity day'?

With activities planned specifically for your group, an activity day could be used to introduce new pupils to each other, building bonds, friendship and communication. Or enrich your subject with tasks and challenges based on and around the land or water.

Bring a small group for climbing, archery and axe throwing or large year groups for Giant Stand Up Paddleboarding, Canadian Canoes and our unique Codebreaker challenge.

Starting in the morning, you will be met by one of our friendly instructors who will ensure you are ready for action. All equipment/PPE for each activity will be provided - and you will get to try each of the activities on a carousel - so no one will miss out.

After lunch you will get your final challenge before a debrief about the day and how we can use our new learned skills at school and in a wider context.
All wrapped up and home in time for tea!

What activities are available?

  • Giant Stand Up and paddleboarding - Great fun on the water! Our 8-10 person giant SUP builds water confidence teamwork and paddle skills – but be warned – you might get wet! Plus if you want to challenge your balance single Paddleboards are available to develop your skills.

  • Climbing - A small bouldering wall warms you up for our giant climbing tower. Looking at technique – not how high you go is key to overcoming your challenge.

  • Challenge course and teambuilding challenges - Physical and mental challenges that build communication skills, teamwork and leadership. Great fun for adults and kids.

  • Bushcraft - Channel your inner Bear Grylls. Learn to light fires without matches, build a den to keep you warm and dry – plus toast a marshmallow or two at our campfire.

  • Canadian canoes - Learn expeditionary paddling techniques and journey around our beautiful reservoir.

  • Axe throwing and archery - Calling all Vikings! Try your hand at Axe throwing and Archery. Our experienced Instructors will show you the techniques necessary in a safe and fun session. Then why not challenge each other to see who is the most skilled warrior.

  • Codebreaker or orienteering - Map work made fun. Use the beautiful woodland to learn to navigate. Then spice it up with our codebreaker challenge where you can put your new skills to the test.

  • Sailing - Learn to sail with friends in our stunning three masted Longboat. The stable design allows groups to get practical experience of sailing around the reservoir (with an instructor) – without getting too wet!

  • Raft building - Build your own raft and challenge another team to a fun race on the beautiful reservoir.

Activity days are available throughout the year and we can cater for most groups. All activities are suitable for Year 4 upwards.
