A Family Holiday Full of
Exciting Outdoor Activities!
No more bored kids or family arguments about what to do, this is a holiday packed full of fun for the whole family! Our family adventures include activities every day and evening and you can opt in and out as you wish.
Within our activity programme are two days on-site where you'll enjoy climbing, high ropes, zip wire & more! Then there are three day trips out into the picturesque Yorkshire Dales (recently voted a top 5 UK holiday destination), where you will experience caving, canoeing, raft building, trekking, climbing and you will visit some amazing scenery. One venue is a backdrop for scenes in Harry Potter films that you will recognise and our journeys to the activity are a tour of the Dales in themselves.
This a relaxed & fun holiday where our professional staff will organise everything for you, ensuring you have plenty of true quality time as a family.

Sunday
Our holidays are best suited to age 5 plus. Kit and equipment for activities like climbing and high ropes is size dependant and some younger children may be too small to join in on harnessed activities but can fully participate in everything else.
It's your holiday and as a parent you can opt in and out of activities as you wish. All we ask is that at least one parent remains close by during the sessions.
Evening entertainment is provided each evening. On all but one of the evenings we ask that a parent remains onsite.
On Wednesday evening we put on a kids only evening to give parents a night off, leaving you free to relax and do your own thing until 10pm. This can include going to the local pub, if you wish. Children are required to be dropped off with our staff on this evening.
If you have younger children that need to go to bed earlier than 10pm, it's important to note that we don't provide a babysitting or listening service for children in bedrooms and we can only take responsibility for children who are dropped off at our evening entertainment sessions.
