Working together, sharing an exploratory journey they will discover the wildlife that inhabits our nocturnal world. |
| Day 2 | Ghyll scrambling Children will step outside their comfort zones as they journey upstream and experience the flow of an impressive mountain river as it cuts its path through the wild environment. They will work together to scramble up the sides of waterfalls and jump into plunge pools. Journeying up the river they will encounter the unique habitat and wildlife of the gorge. | Low ropes These low ropes activities are the perfect setting for children to develop flexibility, strength, control and balance in an exhilarating outdoor environment. Balance beams, rope bridges and scramble nets allow the whole group to keep active and try different ways to conquer the challenge. | Music, stories and campfire Gather together around the fire, for an evening of entertainment, stories and music. Tell your own story, make your own drum or just sit back and relax with a hot chocolate and enjoy the fire. |
| Day 3 | Wilderness bushcraft Pupils discover what they would need to survive a night in the wild. They will work in teams to build their own shelters and have a go at lighting a fire using natural materials. Pupils may also have a go at making elder beads, whittling and cooking some nettle tea to have around the fire. | Eat packed lunch onsite before departure from the centre. |
