What activities will we do: The final programme will be drawn up approximately 2 weeks before we depart and is in the hands of the centre manager. The programme will challenge both adults and children. To give you an idea of the format, on our last trip we did the following:

• Archery
• Jacobs ladder (very challenging)
• Climbing
• High ropes
• Orienteering
• Sensory trail
• Trapeze (great sense of achievement)
• Giant swing (if I shut my eyes I can still feel the sensation!)
• Fencing

Here's what one family said following our first Family Adventure weekend...

'Thank you for a fantastic weekend. Even though we are not a particularly sporty family we were made to feel included and involved in everything. Each of us gained new achievements which we are all proud of and will remember.'

A time to have fun...

and a serious side too - these activities allow children, adults and families to take part in activities together in a way that we rarely get a chance to in a typical week, month or year. Activities that challenge our resolve, expose our vulnerabilities and help us grow as individuals.

As parents we often hear those words of wisdom...

'make the most of time with your children before they grow up and leave home...'

This trip did exactly that.

Full on family fun

We arranged this trip to give families a chance to live life to the full, support each other, laugh together and share each other's joy.
