We offer tailor made itineraries from our diverse range of adventurous activities including High Ropes, Low Ropes, Rafting, Pizza Making, Den Building, Target Shooting, It's a Knock Out, Quad Bike Trekking and Paintball. A visit to Oaker Wood challenges young people both physically and mentally and encourages them to work as a team. They will have ample opportunity to improve their listening skills and build on their independence while on a residential with us as we encourage young people to be responsible for their own pod area and to help around camp with such tasks as washing up and fire lighting.
Our rafting activities help young people to feel at home near to, on and in the water in a safe and reassuring environment. We teach the young people about potential dangers and ensure they know how to be safe around water.
Our Woodland Navigation Trail is themed around Orienteering (please note: this is NOT a full Orienteering Experience) children will use maps to Navigate around a woodland trail, whilst following the map they will be looking for items/pictures (wildlife) as they journey through our picturesque trees and forest routes.
Perfect for children in years 3, 4 5, and 6, they'll have the chance to gain countryside and wildlife facts and insights from our instructors as they guide them along the trail. As they explore, children will punch their route card at each Orienteering Checkpoint they visit.
Yes, please talk to us about the needs of your group. 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.
