The Range
The rifle range is situated in a separate building adjacent to the climbing wall. As per scout POR guidelines all our instructors are National Small Bore Rifle Assoc. (NSRA) authorised and we use 0.177 air rifles. The range is of sufficient length to enable the requirements of the Master at Arms award to be met.
Go-Karts
We have a Go-Kart course and pedal go-karts. They are suitable for Cubs and Scouts and Explorers. Hours of fun, stage your own Le-Mans.
Archery
Site instructors are qualified under the Grand National Archery Society (GNAS) Archery Leader scheme. Our bows are suitable for cubs and above.
Assault Course
The assault course is available for a nominal charge per hour. There are several prebuilt items. We can incorporate anything from tyre obstacle and barrel obstacles to scramble nets and postman’s bridges. The design and construction is up to you, subject to inspection by the warden before use. All we ask is your help to erect it and take it down afterwards, this being a safety point for other campers and in the case of the scramble net for the safety of the wildlife.
Trampolines
This is a new activity added prior to 2007's Scout Weekend. This is a Leader run activity, safety instructions are issued for you to follow. We have 2, 14ft Trampolines with safety enclosures, for you to hire as an activity. The kids love it.
Aerial Runway
The aerial runway is available and takes place in the wooded area from an especially constructed wooden tower. Please note that this activity does take some setting up and prior notification when booking will be required.

Orienteering
This is a Freebie! We have a preset course and we can provide you with the compasses and route cards to complete it.
Campfire Circle
The campfire circle is available for use free of charge the only proviso is that it is a shared facility between all campers and that you clean it up before you leave. Please see the warden to arrange collection of wood as this is a limited resource on site.

There are also sections of the site usable for backwoods cooking, barbequing and games such as football, softball etc. Please ask the warden or one of their team for advice on activities or programme planning if you need it. Please note that the over-riding factor in all of our activities is safety and sometimes this can result in activities being closed or unavailable, particularly with the English climate!
