DRY SLOPE SKIING & SNOWBOARDING
A floodlit 165-metre dry slope at Mendip Activity Centre. Instructors take complete beginners from first slide to linked turns in one session.



TOBOGGANING
Mendip's most popular session: bright toboggans down a floodlit, sprinkler-wetted slope. Quick, loud and brilliant for the younger age groups.


6 ACTIVITIES

BUSHCRAFT
Shelter building and outdoor skills with Mendip's instructors. A good team challenge away from the pitches.

CAVING
Head underground in Sandford Levy, an old mine with stalactites and gour pools, or try a proper crawl in Goatchurch Cavern nearby.



FRISBEE GOLF
An 18-hole disc golf course over the hilltops and woodland of Mendip's estate, with a Yeti Hunt trail for the younger ones.



HANGAR 51 NERF & GEL BATTLES
Foam-dart battles, then UV gel blasters, in a themed indoor hangar with fog and lasers. Run as private sessions for your group.



ORIENTEERING & NATURE TRAIL
Map in hand, find the control points across Mendip's 250-acre estate, or follow the nature trail at your own pace.


ROCK CLIMBING & ABSEILING
Real limestone at Sandford Quarry with qualified instructors: climbing, belaying and an abseil back down the face.


4 ACTIVITIES

AIR RIFLE SHOOTING
Target shooting with a full safety briefing from the instructors, and a score card to take home.


ARCHERY
An instructor-led introduction to target archery on purpose-built ranges, with a little friendly competition to finish.

ARCHERY TAG
A team game somewhere between archery and dodgeball, with foam-tipped arrows. A good one for a whole squad at once.

AXE THROWING
Coached axe throwing at wooden targets on woodland ranges. Technique beats strength, so the quiet ones often win.
3 ACTIVITIES

BATH & THE ROMAN BATHS
A day in Bath, the World Heritage city. Walk the Roman Baths, where the hot spring still steams in the Great Bath after nearly 2,000 years, then on to Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and the Rec, home of Bath Rugby.

CHEDDAR GORGE & CAVES
England's biggest gorge, with show caves, clifftop walks and the village that gave cheddar its name.

WESTON-SUPER-MARE
Sand, the Grand Pier and fish and chips on the seafront. An easy afternoon for families travelling with the team.
2 ACTIVITIES

KAYAKING & CANOEING
Kayaking, canoeing and raft building for groups on the water at Hewish, or a guided paddle round Bristol Harbour for older players.



PADDLEBOARDING
A calm-water paddleboard session at Mendip's Hewish lake. Buoyancy aids provided, and you do not need to be a strong swimmer.
