Children are encouraged to work as a team, co-operation, communication and leadership are key in all the activities we offer. Our aim is for children to leave Oaker Wood with an understanding of the importance of team cohesion, working together and communicating with each other.
All of our activities are both physically and mentally challenging and encourage co-ordination, balance and strength.
We also specialise in residential sports tours based at our on site Glamping Villages, a combination of activities and fixtures against local teams.
Children are encouraged to work as a team, co-operation, communication and leadership are key in all the activities we offer. We hope that when children leave Oaker Wood they have a better understanding of team work and being a good citizen within their community. Throughout their stay, children learn and grow in a safe, supportive outdoor environment that encourages hands-on experiences and fosters resilience. Feedback from teachers and repeated visits from schools shows that we provide a fantastic environment for children to succeed. Many children who visit us have never had the opportunity to take part in the outdoor activities that we offer. Our team of instructors are committed to ensuring that the children who visit us enjoy an unforgettable and enriching experience.
Camp fire, den building and outdoor pizza making are all activities we offer. We also offer a woodland navigation activity which enhances our outdoor woodland offering. Children will enjoy toasting mashmallows, working on their den buiding skills and exploring our vast woodland.
Many of our activities are based around team building, including Borneo Low Ropes, Woodland Krypton Trail, and Rafting. Oaker Wood staff promote team buidling at all times.
Code Breaker is a team building activity based on our low ropes course. Cross the Amazon Log Roll, scale the Commando Wall and scramble up Catch Old Mine. The faster you work the more clues you collect. Paintball is a fantastic team activity where teams work together to acheive a team goal.
Yes Here at Oaker Wood we are continually working to ensure that all guests enjoy the many benefits of our activities. If a member of your group has additional requirements, we will be pleased to discuss these with you. To enable us to make an accurate assessment of service provision and identify appropriate resources in relation to access, activities, successful participation and health and safety, we ideally need full details as soon as possible.
Ensuring we can cater for the additional needs of an individual requires advance notification to allow for appropriate planning. We are only able to take responsibility for arrangements that have been discussed and agreed with us in advance. We understand that additional needs could relate to disability, dietary requirements, behavioural difficulties or religious/cultural requirements. All requests for additional needs must be confirmed via email to
