Wood Whittling
An important skill that helped our ancestors survive. The great thing about whittling wood is that little skill is required to start and once you immerse yourself into it you can become obsessed with what you can create next..
Waterslide
Don’t be fooled – our 100m water slip n’ slide is not for dainty types! This pure-adrenalin slide down the Hollow Meadow in Adventure Valley should be ridden STRICTLY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Ukulele
This activity is primarily aimed at complete beginners to give an introduction to playing the ukulele, but anybody is welcome to join – although those who already play may find it a bit basic. We are aiming at playing and singing tunes by the end of the session, and ukuleles can be borrowed for the hour, or players can bring their own.

Orienteering
