The one nearest the Education Centre has a permanent shelter, while one within 5 minutes walk has a parachute canopy. We work outdoors in most weathers except in very high winds, when alternative activities can be arranged.
Woodland campfire-cooked snack is included, but please provide snacks for the afternoon break and a packed lunch. Warning - having fun outside makes you hungry. Fresh drinking water is available on site, so please bring a reusable water bottle to refill throughout the day.
