Banishing Boredom - Adventures with the Kids

What can we say? This half term has been a massive success at Avon Tyrrell. Banishing boredom with loads of outdoor adventure and activities for young people and their families.

Fundays were fully booked giving children the opportunity to let loose and enjoy being active outdoors, whilst also making new friends and becoming more open to new and exciting challenges.

Although not everyone wanted to abseil down the climbing tower, or take the leap of faith on the high ropes, it was important that everyone had the opportunity to challenge themselves and give something a try.

All in all it’s been a great week and we’ve had some pretty great adventures.

A Day Out with the Kids

Our NEW range of Family Events planned for 2015 kicked off with our Exploration Trail being a huge success. We understand that keeping your kids entertained during the holidays can become costly, so our family events are ideal to get your kids doing something active for a few hours. Families spent the day discovering new things around the site and searching for clues before finishing the trail with hot drinks and marshmallows around the campfire. They had a blast with the kids exploring the site. Feedback has been extremely positive and as something different they all had a great time and are looking forward to more opportunities with us over the next few months.

If we are being honest, our open sessions could have done better regarding attendance but everyone that did join in had a fantastic time and it just means more opportunities for new people to give Avon Tyrrell a try in the future.

As well as some pretty awesome Fundays and family activities, we have also had in Prince’s Trust Groups from Brighton and Hove staying in the Lodges doing developmental learning in an outdoor environment. They have come a long way in the 4 days they have been with us, exactly what they hoped to achieve and we are here to provide so thumbs up to them and the team leading them for all of their hard work.

Avon Tyrrell is perfect no matter what the weather, so even if the British weather plays its normal tricks and starts raining seconds after beaming sunshine, activities will still run. Give us a try! We’re confident that we have something to offer all age groups.
