High Ropes Decent


Secured in harnesses and climbing helmets, pupils experience the thrill of moving along fixed rope elements set in the tree canopy, before being lowered to the ground. This specially designed course, 6 metres above the ground, offers a real personal challenge for each individual. Each session is led by a qualified instructor.


High Ropes -A real sense of achievement Low Ropes- All about teamwork


Low Ropes Course


Working in small teams, pupils help and encourage each other to move around, over and across the various elements of the course. There are opportunities to explore some of the key skills, including communication and working together through this enjoyable activity.

 A team building day can be planned around some the following activities.


Tyre Course

A team building exercise where pupils need to problem-solve as they cross a swamp, launch themselves on one of several rope swings and walk the plank, all without touching the ground. A fun way of working together.
