🐾Weathering Storms, Embracing The Wild🐾

As storm Èowyn sweeps through Scotland, it serves as a powerful reminder of nature's raw beauty and unyielding force. For those of us who find solace and inspiration in the outdoors, storms like these are both humbling, invigorating and reflective!

Nature is not something to tame; it’s something to understand, respect, and embrace🌱 The wild really does teach us resilience, adaptability, and awe🍃

This storm reminds us to prepare, protect, and, most importantly, pause to witness the energy around us. Let’s teach our children to appreciate these moments,not just the sunny, calm days, but also the fierce, unpredictable ones that show us how alive the world truly is🌊

Stay safe, stay curious, and remember: the wild is always a teacher.

Gel blasters are a all time favourite with our campers🤗

What we love about our gel blasters is that they are safe & eco-friendly. Our blasters use water-based gel pellets, making them safe and environmentally friendly, which is very important to us🌱

Gel blasters also improve coordination and encourages strategic thinking and collaboration with teammates while boosting physical activity🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

🤔Maybe it's something you never even thought of before but here are some reason as to why the simple act of axe throwing is important for your children!🪓

It is an exciting and challenging activity for kids to learn to throw a small axe at a target, aiming for accuracy and control. It's not just about hitting the target, it’s about developing focus, patience, and coordination.

Our activity helps to:

🪓Builds Confidence: Mastering a new skill like axe throwing boosts self-esteem and encourages kids to take on new challenges.

🪓Improves Hand-Eye Coordination: It sharpens motor skills and enhances coordination, which can benefit other physical activities.

🪓Teaches Patience and Focus: Success in axe throwing requires concentration and persistence, helping kids develop these essential life skills.

We find that this activity is a fun way to get kids engaged with nature and the outdoors and they simple love the thrill of it!

We’re excited to include axe throwing in our lineup of activities at our upcoming Easter Camps!

We can’t wait to see your kids gain new skills and have loads of fun in the great outdoors at our new and existing locations.
