Entertaining the kids in the School holidays

​After such superb weather over the bank holiday weekend, our thoughts are turning to the end of May half term. Hopefully the conditions will be just as good and we can all spend most of it outdoors!

For us, the school holidays are a busy time. Over the bank holiday we will be hiring out boats to families at Talkin Tarn Country Park, near Carlisle, running mini-taster lessons in archery for visitors to Muncaster Castle in West Cumbria, and providing a range of activities at the Upperby Gala in Carlisle. 

Once the Cumbria school holidays settle down, just as you're starting to hear those ominous words, "I'm boooooooooooored", and the kids hide away with their consoles and computer games, we have arranged our popular Adventure Day Camps. Being towards the end of the week, we hope that we can be of some help to working parents by keeping the kids busy during the day.

​These Activity Day Camps at Talkin Tarn Country Park are a fantastic holiday club for ages 9-14 years. Providing full supervision during the normal school hours of 9-3:30, our professional instructors will guide small groups through 3 outdoor activities on each day. This is a brilliant opportunity for children to meet new friends, enjoy a new challenge and spend a day outdoors. More information about each day's activities can be found here.
