This week I have been using Kings Hall School near Taunton as a base to deliver Adventurous Activity Courses for 8-13 year olds. The 4 day course running from Monday to Friday gives young people a taster in lots of different Outdoor and Adventurous Activities as well as a few alternative team games.
We had 11 students on this weeks course and mainly females which is really nice to see in a commonly male dominent course. All the students had a great time, some returning following the Easter Course and some booking on for next week as well.
Thanks also to Josh, a work experience student from Richard Huish College who worked hard all week sorting kit, keeping an eye on students and joining in the activities.
This weeks programme went as follows:
Monday
AM - "Get to know you" and "problem solving" challenges
PM - Archery and Alternative Invasion Games
Tuesday
AM - High Ropes at Vivary Adventure
PM - Orienteering and Slack-lining in Vivary Park
Wednesday
AM - Open Canoe trip on the River Tone
PM - Stand Up Paddle-boarding session on the River Tone
Thursday
AM - Bushcraft Session (Shelter Building, Campfire Cooking etc)
PM - Power-kiting and Ultimate Frisbee
I try and make the programme as flexible as possible so we can change activities depending on the days weather and student input. On our Easter courses we included Mountain Biking and on future courses may include Raft Building, Kayaking and Rock Climbing.
The course is priced at £120 for the 4 days and includes lunch. There are still places available on next weeks course starting on Monday 11th August. If you would like to book your child in please see the poster below for booking details.
