Young Explorers (6 and 7 year olds) 1 day

For 6 and 7 year olds we have Young Explorers which are individual days with natural progression throughout the week.

No two days are the same which makes it ideal for those who would like to book the whole week while still remaining great fun for those who may only want to come once or twice.

Team challenges introduction

Take on the low ropes challenge course and team tasks, building the ultimate problem solving group who are ready for anything including the formidable blindfold trail. A great way to build confidence and make new friends.

Team survival

Work together with other young explorers to build shelters, forage for resources on a scavenger hunt and shoot bows and arrows. We have an introduction archery set using suckers instead of pointed tips (a perfect way for younger ones to start).

Team exploration

Discover the natural world by finding and identifying plants and bugs in the morning then taking to the water to spot wetland and river wildlife in the afternoon. A fun way to learn about wildlife and build confidence on the water in our stable bell boats.

Team navigation

Learn the art of navigation using games and map making. Put skills to the test in an orienteering competition and treasure hunt. Active fun with useful like skills.

Team challenges

Fire lighting finale – put your group to the ultimate challenge with the pick of the best activities from the low ropes challenge course and team tasks, earn points to win your team more goodies for the fire.

End the day or the week helping your instructor to build and light a fire to cook on.
