Our Activities |
The activities available take
place on the site, using our own high quality
equipment and fully qualified staff. The welfare
and safety of the children is paramount and we
never compromise. We believe that young people
enjoy themselves most in a well run and well organized
situation and we are proud of the reputation this
has earned us.
Archery
The type of sport many children never have the
opportunity to try, we have included this optional
activity as a more unusual skill and it always
proves extremely popular with both children and
staff.

Canoeing
The shallow two and a half acre lake in Otter
Bank Meadow is an ideal location for a beginner's
introduction to the sport. Buoyancy aids and safety
hats are provided and we have a choice of Canadian
canoes or kayaks. As with all the activities,
the children are taken in small groups to ensure
individual attention.
Horse Riding
Riding at Penlan has been a long standing tradition
and remains a firm favourite. We have quiet beginner's
ponies and a 4,000 square feet indoor riding school;
the security of a confined area is very reassuring
for beginners and, of course, riding goes on whatever
the weather.
Orienteering
We have a well designed orienteering course which
adds a valuable dimension to field studies. The
competitive element inspires good teamwork and
the children soon learn that practical map reading
is fun!
Golf Driving Range
This inexpensive optional activity encourages
physical co-ordination and is great fun, daytime
or evening. The children will be supervised in
small groups, each child having a junior iron
and a bucket of balls to try their skill.
