You asked, we listened!
We've had lots of requests for a Holiday Activity Day with ALL WATER activities, and so new for this Summer we are offering exactly that!

The same format as our always popular Holiday Activity Days - drop off at 8.30am-8.45am, pick up at 5pm. Four water activities with lunch included for just £60!
Suitable for ages 8-16, however please be aware they will be split into two groups based on their ages and ability. All participants MUST be able to swim.
We do not recommend booking multiple dates, these are more of a standalone adventure. If you are looking for regular adventurous childcare, please see our Holiday Activity Days as the activities are more varied and suited for this purpose.

MONDAYS:
This will be a more educational day, aimed at those who are perhaps thinking of renting/buying their own craft and heading out on the river as a family but aren't sure if they are ready to commit to a course. There will be more 'learning' and focus on skills and river safety. The activities will be Stand Up Paddleboarding, Kayaking, Canoeing, and Bell Boating. Please note this is not a course and they will not gain a qualification, but is a great day on the river and good starting point if you are not sure if they're ready/willing for a full course.

FRIDAYS:
Pure fun and adventure! The activities will be Stand Up Paddleboarding, Kayaking, Rafting, and Bell Boating.

Please note; Whilst we always try our best to organize it so that friends attending together are placed in the same groups, it is not possible to guarantee this. Pairs are often possible, but any request larger than 3 will always be split across groups. Booking together on one booking makes no difference to this and does not guarantee they will be placed together. We will not and cannot discuss grouping your child with anyone else as this would break both Data and Child Protection. Emailing and calling will not change these facts, and due to repeated poor experiences we do not take grouping requests from anyone other than the young people themselves after arrival. These days are not appropriate for Birthday Parties or private groups and must not be booked as such. We appreciate your understanding in advance.

Please be aware that these days may not be appropriate for all of those with additional needs, and young people who attend must be in mainstream school without additional support. If your young person has additional needs, please get in touch with us directly so that we can work together to find a day suitable for them. Most activities can be adapted for those with physical additional needs, but this does need to planned in advance so please get in touch before booking.

If you would like to book using childcare vouchers, please email all your details to reception@longridge.org.uk as sadly the childcare voucher system is too complicated for our online bookings system to manage at this time. Please do not book online as we will not be able to refund and swap to childcare vouchers. Please note that there is a £5 admin charge for childcare voucher bookings.
