Worried that your children are spending too much time in front of the TV? Desperate to get them out in the fresh air this summer? Then why not enter our great competition to win places on an action-packed outdoor activity day, Escape from Wildchild Wood.
The day includes involving young people on a mission to find pieces of a missing code, by completing various team challenges, then escaping down a 70-metre zip-wire. Challenges along the way include abseiling down the ‘tower of terror’ and building a base camp in the woods to discuss strategies for the challenge with team members.
We have six places to giveaway for this brilliant day.
Wildchild’s founder Lynda Regan, said: “We know from research, that encouraging young people to take part in outdoor adventure activities gives them greater independence, confidence, self-esteem and better social and teamwork skills.
“As a result, we have set up this day-long outdoor adventure, which is not only great fun, but gives youngsters challenges such as solving secret codes and building base camps, as well as abseiling the ‘tower of terror ‘ and travelling down a 70-metre zip wire.”
