Venue Highlights
Zip Wire
Travelling at high speed, maybe even through a forest or over a lake, suspended and harnessed from an overhead cable isn't something forgotten easily!
Giant Swing
How high will you go? Pull the release cord to send you hurtling down towards the ground before swinging up towards the sky!
Survivor!
Work as a team to build a wilderness shelter and learn to stay warm and dry using whatever you can find.
Problem Solving
Up for a tricky challenge? Test your brain, solve complex puzzles and tasks, and work as a team against the clock.
