All our archery sessions start with an introduction to the equipment you will be using. Our expert staff will give you a demonstration on how to use the equipment and then it’s over to you. We’ll even give you 3 practice arrows before you start scoring! Archery is a fantastic activity and is suitable for all ages.

Open canoes are designed for two people. This makes them great fun, ideal for less confident groups or those wanting to practice their teamwork. The session will include an introduction to your canoe and a safety talk, followed by instruction and activities and games to enable you to get the most out of your paddling experience. All participants must wear a buoyancy aid throughout the session; these will be fitted and checked by our qualified and experienced staff.

Another exciting team event designed for up to four people. Crate Stack is a test of balance and co-ordination. You are attached to a wire suspended above via a rope and work either alone or in pairs (maximum of four people). Your objective is to stack as many milk crates underneath you as you possibly can and to build your tower as high as possible! If working in pairs you must put the ultimate trust in your partner, balancing yourselves delicately and positioning the crates with care underneath you. 

A series of single or multiple day treks set within beautiful locations including the Lake District, Yorkshire and Wales. We tailor-make your trek taking into account your level of fitness, experience and what you would like to achieve.

Your session will begin with a land-based introduction to your kayak and a safety talk. Your instructor will take the group through basic paddling skills helping individuals progress throughout the session. A variety of games and activities provide plenty of entertainment and help the group to gain confidence on the water. All participants must wear a buoyancy aid throughout the session; these will be fitted and checked by our qualified and experienced staff.

Leap of Faith is a challenge that requires courage and determination. Your challenge is to climb to the top of a 13m (42ft) pole reaching a tiny platform. The next step is to try and stand up on this tiny platform, all the time trying to block out the fact that the pole is severely swaying! Once on top you will see a red balloon hanging down a number of metres away. Your final challenge is to build up the courage to leap off and hit the balloon! Feel the relief as you are lowered safely to the ground.
