Outdoor Adventure Holiday Club (8+)
Come and join the fun!
The ultimate outdoor adventure for kids aged 8 and over. Packed with fun-filled activities on in the water and on land, our outdoor adventure holiday club is designed to get kids moving, engaged, and smiling all day long.
Whether they’re learning a new watersports skill, working as a team on challenges, or exploring nature, every day is a new adventure. You can choose from flexible booking options - half-day, full-day, or full-week blocks - making it easy to fit around your plans, with early drop off and late pick up options too. Let us take care of the fun while you enjoy peace of mind!

Frequently asked questions
The day runs from 09.30am to 4.30pm - with the option of an earlier drop off and later collection if required - and includes a 1-hour lunch break. Throughout the day the instructors ensure we take regular comfort breaks to ensure the group stays hydrated and top up on suncream if it's warm and have a chance to warm up if the weather isn't as good.
Each of our centres offer a range of activities which can be seen in the centre information above. We will run between 2 and 4 activities each day, with the balance between water and land-based activities decided based on the weather conditions. Where conditions are favourable, we will opt for 2 longer activities to allow for children to gain more experience and see their skills progress. All activities start with a gentle introduction, and we will increase the level of challenge to suit each child's confidence level.
We will always aim to get on the water for at least one of the sessions each day. We have a variety of options to get you child out on the water to suit most weather conditions. Occasionally there may be days when the weather will dictate that the group needs to stay land based for the full day, however we will always make sure that the group are keep busy and entertained.
Wetsuits, buoyancy aids, helmets and spray tops will be provided to all attendees, though children are welcome to bring their own wetsuit if they prefer. Please ensure your child bring with them swimwear, a towel, a drink / water bottle, suncream, weather appropriate clothing, spare pair of closed-toe shoes to wear in the water, lunch and snacks. We will send an email reminder of what to bring a few days before your session.
You will be greeted by the centre team and introduced to your instructor for the day. They will spend the first period getting to know the group, including an ice breaker activity to help them to become familiar with each other, plus explain the activity plan for the day. Depending on the first activity, they will then be allocated any personal equipment, such as wetsuits, and have time to get ready before the first activity starts.

Whilst we are not able to physically help children into their wetsuits, we will be on hand to support if they are having difficulties, assist with the trickier elements (such as doing up and undoing back zips) and will always ensure all safety equipment is properly fitted.
Our instructors are very experienced in dealing with young people – from very excited children to more reserved. If your child may need a bit of extra encouragement to participate, please feel free to speak to the centre team in advance of the activity so that we can ensure they are given the best possible opportunity to make the most out of the activities.
Our goal is for every person to have the ability to experience sailing and outdoor activities. If there are specific support needs for your child, please give our centre team a call or email and we can discuss any adaptations that we need to make to include them within the group's activities.
