How to Book

The Adventure Never Stops

Every group enjoys the same high-quality, action-packed course all year round, with over half of our 15 thrilling activities taking place indoors. Whether scaling the indoor climbing wall, soaring in Trapeze, or hitting gold in archery, the weather never gets in the way of unforgettable fun. There’s still plenty of opportunity to be outdoors, from canoeing across the lake to navigating the Nightline. The perfect balance of indoor excitement and outdoor challenge, delivering the ultimate KS2 residential experience, whatever the weather.
