‘Skills’ Year group activities

Our ‘skills’ activity package has been created as an alternative to our adventure days. While very similar, we can bring slightly different activities and focus to the days. The activities here are friendly to a wider range of ages than our adventure package and can be used across school year groups too.

As a package you can choose 4 of the following activities

• Climbing

• Soft Archery

• Circus skills

• Construction Challenge

• Disc Golf

Climbing
At the start of our climbing sessions all pupils will get a harness, learn about the equipment we will be using and get a concise safety briefing before taking on the wall. Past and present GB Paraclimbing team members regularly instruct on our climbing walls. We can’t think of better people to demonstrate just what you can achieve when you challenge yourself.

Construction challenge
This team building activity is all about working together, sharing ideas, leadership and effective communication. Working through a series tasks, pupils will need to construct towers, shapes and more using our specialist equipment.

Disc Golf
This upcoming and interesting sport involves throwing discs (frisbees) into nets. The rules are the same as with golf. We can have lots of people engaged at a time which makes this a popular choice.

Soft Archery
Soft archery is a great way of introducing this sport. Without the risks of full archery pupils get plenty of turns, have lots of fun and can play some archery games too.

Circus skills
Circus skills is a great session with maximum participation. We have lots of skills and equipment for people to learn. We tend to keep sessions quite informal to enable pupils to find activities they like and let them run with them (and provide hints and tips along the way).
