Summer Sessions – Over 12’s!

Join us at Pinkston for an unforgettable summer with our over 12’s specific sessions!

Does your child feel a little old for a summer camp but still wants to have fun? Look no further!  With these age specific sessions, they can still enjoy a multitude of outdoor activities but with kids closer to their age. To be as flexible as possible each day with the group and their interests, we don’t have a set itinerary but can promise a mix of active, outdoor and fun games and activities to try, both on water and on land.

What is included

💦 Fun, professional and qualified instructors
💦 Watersports like kayaking, paddleboarding and raftbuilding
💦 Outdoor challenges and games on land
💦 Woodland campfires and marshmallow toasting

💦 Make friends, and practice working and playing together in groups

FAQs

Q : Is there car parking?
A : Yes, we have a free to use carpark with more free street parking on Boron Street (road directly up the hill from the main gates)

Q : Are there showers and hair dyers?
A : We have changing facilities with hot showers but no hair dyers. We do have outside plugs if you wish to bring your own.

Q : How cold is the water?
A : This changes from day to day as it is an outdoor unheated (but filtered!) pool. But probably cold tbh – know your limits especially in winter!

Q : Do I need to wear a wetsuit or buoyancy aid?
A : While both wetsuits and buoyancy aids are provided only buoyancy aids must be worn. You may prefer/be more conformable in a tshirt and shorts than a wetsuit however you are much more likely to get cold even in warmer weather. Please be aware of your limits in cold water.

Q : Is there a coffee machine?
A : No, bring your own flask if you would like a hot drink for after!
