What’s in Store

With two unique activities each morning and afternoon (four per day), participants can enjoy a mix of water and land-based adventures tailored to challenge, entertain, and inspire. Choose from exciting options like:

  • Water Sports: Test your balance and courage with stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, or tackle a giant SUP on our serene lake.
  • Land Challenges: Reach new heights with climbing sessions, or join a hands-on survival skills session inspired by Bear Grylls himself.

Each activity is thoughtfully crafted to ensure safety, excitement, and skill-building, making it the perfect place for kids to learn, grow, and make lasting memories.

Full-Day Fun Option

Want a full day of fun? Morning and afternoon sessions differ, so you can book both to create a full adventure day for your child. With lunch cover provided, parents can rest easy knowing their young ones are fully cared for between sessions.  Lunch cover is provided for full-day bookings.
