BUNKHOUSE ACCOMMODATION
The Experience of a Life Time
As passionate outdoors people, we believe that there are so many life lessons to be learnt during a stay with us. By placing young people in adventurous situations, they are required to make decisions and behave in ways that are new and challenging. Whether is it the personal decision to participate in an activity such as abseiling, or the responsibility that is given to an individual in belaying a friend whilst climbing, everyday will provide a new experience!
Freedom of Choice
All of our activities are designed to push individuals to discover their own minds and limits, within a safe and supportive environment. Although all of our instructors will do everything to put participants at ease, it is fully up to the individual to choose. Such an obvious decision to take part or not is a key part of the unique personal development opportunity that the outdoor environment provides.
A Tailored Package
We provide you with a personal service from start to finish, reducing the pressure placed on you! By working with you to tailor your package to your requirements we can ensure you achieve the most from your stay, at a budget that’s right for you. Simply work with our team to add elements to our base package to create a bespoke programme that suits your group’s needs.
Bunkhouse Trip
Enjoy an action packed week or short stay with Rock and Rapid Adventures, based in our Activity Centre in the heart of North Devon right on the edge of the Exmoor National Park. We can accommodate groups of up to 40 people for a unique and action packed experience, with your choice from our wide range of activities. Located on the edge Exmoor at our Adventure Centre, we have all the activities and facilities in place for you to use. We will keep your group entertained during the day and in the evening with our fun, exhilarating, challenging and inspirational activities, and not to mention being on the same site as the biggest indoor climbing wall in Devon.
Food & Transport
We provide all the food during your stay. Breakfast will be a selection of cereals, then a packed lunch, and an evening meal that we can cook for you in our bunkhouse kitchen. Transport can also be provided if required.
Activities
Abseiling
The thought of just leaning back over the edge can be scary and tends to provide the biggest personal challenge to most people. It’s probably the biggest decision most participants will make during their stay and therefore is an excellent opportunity for them (and them alone) to push themselves out of their comfort zone. Even those that choose not to participate learn a valuable lesson about themselves.
Climbing
Whilst most people think climbing is about strength, it’s normally those with the best balance and technique that succeed. With a huge range of climbs we can ensure that everybody in the group can be challenged to their personal limit. But climbing is not a solo sport; the belayer has a big responsibility in keeping the climber safe. This makes an excellent environment to develop co-operation, support and trust between peers.
Raft Building
A classic and good fun half day challenge! With basic parts and lots of rope, your group will compete against each other to build the ultimate raft.
Kayaking and Canoeing
Try your hand at Kayaking, Canoeing or both! These are both great activities for young people to master and are both great fun! Participants can try their hand at paddling a kayak on their own, or getting a team together to try and master the art of getting a canoe to go in a straight line. One thing is for sure, everyone will get WET!!!
Coasteering
Make your way along the coastline, using any possible method, including climbing, jumping and swimming. An excellent activity for working together as a group, both to find the best route and in helping each other; up, over, or around the obstacles along the coast. Our Coasteering adventures are guided by our staff, who are intimately familiar with the location we use.
Walking, Orienteering & Survival Skills
As well as the more adventurous activities, we complement our programmes with a number of skill development activities for your group - during the day, or at night. Exmoor provides some stunning walking and orienteering and is a great setting for learning survival skills. These activities provide an excellent teaching environment for a wide range of skills.
Bushcraft
The art of making natural fire can inspire anyone to a greater appreciation of the outdoors and the natural world around us. This is a popular evening activity as nightfall approaches, which is often followed by marshmallows and a camp fire dinner.
Team Building Challenges
We have a huge selection of team building activities which are great for a more relaxing day around camp. This can be a half day using some basic activities to bond the group, or a whole day to really develop and challenge the minds of the group.
Adventure Race
A multi activity team challenge bringing together a range of activities and skills learned with us. Teams will race around the lake and surrounding woodland, meeting challenges on the way both physical and mental. A great activity to finish with!
Archery
For all young budding “Robin Hoods” out there this activity offers a skilful and technical challenge. Archery is always a favourite with the kids, teaching them patience and the exuberance of friendly competition.
Stand Up Paddle Boarding
A sport that all may not be familiar with, think a really big surf board and a long paddle. Involving balance coordination and a great deal of skill this experience is about as close to walking on water as you can get. Controlling the board like an Italian gondola, navigating you way around obstacles. A fantastic activity and fun for all.
