Adventure Holiday Club with Land and Wave
Where: Pick up and drop off at Sandbanks, Poole, BH13 7QD
About: Adventure Holiday Club offers outdoor adventures tailored to the seasons. In Summer, activities include watersports at Sandbanks (like kayaking, paddle boarding, and crabbing), bushcraft in the woods (such as fire lighting, campfire cooking, and archery), and coasteering along the Jurassic Coast, all weather-dependent.
In Autumn, the club shifts to three days of woodland adventures, featuring Zombie Archery, Pumpkin Carving and Fire Lighting, and a Halloween-themed Bushcraft Cookery School.
Adventure Teens, designed for older attendees, includes two days of advanced bushcraft skills (knife use, campfire cooking, axe throwing), two days of watersports culminating in a kayak journey to Old Harry Rocks, and a day of extreme coasteering, with all activities adapted to ensure safety and fun in changing weather conditions.
Also, Summer programmes are heavily water-based, so it is recommended your children are confident in the water and can swim. If your child is joining a summer Kids Club that includes Coasteering, they must be able to swim at least 25 metres and be confident in the sea and moving water. If your child cannot swim, then they will repeat a dry activity such as bushcraft.
