Got a head for heights? This exhilarating activity allows you to scale down the side of our purpose-built towers leaving you with a great sense of achievement!

The Challenge Course is legendary! As your pupils negotiate the various obstacles that lie ahead, it’s an experience that will promote teamwork, lateral thinking, problem solving and decision-making - as well as being physically challenging too.

How high will you go? It’s up to you and your partner to decide how high you want to go before pulling the release cord to send you hurtling down towards the ground before swinging up towards the sky. 

It’s a great way to really get to know the rest of the group and use communication, teamwork and leadership skills together to have fun and scramble to the top of the ladder.

Each stage of the trapeze is a challenge in itself, but it's exhilarating, and you’ll feel an amazing sense of achievement when you succeed at each step.

Travelling at high speed, the zipwire is a truly exhilarating experience.
