The water side of activities is where we excel and where the enjoyment is for most children. We tend to get on the Super Jumbo SUP’s first, each Jumbo SUP holds around 15-20 children depending on the size of the children. After the fun and hilarity of the Jumbos it’s onto the solo or paired SUP boards, if that wasn’t enough, we have all the single and paired kayaks available for the children to use.
We also have options for land based activities, these include soft archery, volleyball, the rotating climbing wall, sports day, orienteering, basketball, shelter building & bush craft, slacklines and so much more.
The cost per head is £25 including VAT and is based on a minimum group size of 20
Children are required to bring a towel, and old pair or trainers of neoprene shoes that can be worn on the water. Children need to bring a swimming costume to wear under the supplied wetsuits, if children have their own wetsuit, they can bring these if they wish.
