Physical Education School Trip Click to expand

Climbing Canoeing Orienteering Archery Kayaking High Ropes Zip Line

At Hindleap, physical activity is part of the fun in every session, helping young people get active, build strength, and work together as a team. Our high ropes courses, like the ‘Leap of Faith’ trapeze jump, ‘Giant See-Saw,’ and ‘Gladiator Challenge,’ offer a chance to push personal limits and conquer fears, all while improving agility and confidence. Abseiling and climbing walls add to the excitement, and our obstacle courses, including the low ropes and underground maze, help boost balance, teamwork, and problem-solving. The iconic wet tunnels are a real challenge—crawling through damp pipes is sure to test both physical strength and determination, but a hot shower at the end makes it all worth it! For those looking to really get into the wilderness, our forest adventure lets groups explore 300 acres of woodland, tackling streams, mud, and dense undergrowth, all while working together and having fun in the great outdoors.
