Taking place in the forest at Russborough House, Wicklow, this Halloween multi-activity outdoor camp for 7-12 year olds will contain all the requested favourites:

• Shoot Out! The most fun you can have with a bow and arrow, including archery and archery tag.
• All Harnessed Up: Once you are all harnessed up and ready to go, you will be climbing walls, zipping down ziplines and working your way through the rope obstacle course. Add in some tree climbing and your smiles will no doubt be bigger by the end of the day.
• Wet & Wild: Always one of the most popular activities with the kids. All things water, sit on top kayaking and experience our super large 12 person canoes!
• Bushcraft: Bushcraft and survival techniques are always a fun and useful life skill for kids to learn. It helps them become aware of nature around them, learning how to build shelters (the aim is to be waterproof against showers!), how to successfully build a fire, first aid, along with the constant knowledge and chatter about the surrounding nature.
