OBSTACLES + BOULDERING

Brand new last year – our obstacle course and bouldering wall will test anyone and we love it! Leave it to us to make sure that the challenge is suitable for you when you embark on your journey with your mates, family or colleagues. The obstacle course is included in all of our packages for ‘Weekend Warriors’ who visit and will always be included in our weekday programmes for organisations.

BAGGERIDGE ADVENTURE

Baggeridge Adventure is an exceptional activity venue and it provides an exclusive and safe environment for everyone. Our affordable adventure packages are suitable for all ages and abilities and we pride ourselves on getting visitors outside of their comfort zones in a fun and secure environment.

HIGH ROPES COURSE

Adventurers can traverse through the high and low ropes courses, take a leap of faith down the PowerFan Descender and swing through the trees along the Zip Wire – above all, a high-level adventure guaranteed to get the adrenaline pumping! The course has state of the art safety systems and all instructors are highly qualified outdoor specialists.

NETS ADVENTURE

We have combined ‘high ropes’ obstacles with safety nets to create an aerial playground, different to anything else out there. No need to put harnesses on and perfect if you want to build your confidence. You are always safe and the activity is always supervised by one of our instructors who is responsible for everyone’s safety. 

TEAM BUILDING

Everything that we do is about developing you and your team. We work with you to put a suitable programme together and we are proud to say that our innovative ground-based activities will always get you learning together and put a smile on your face.  

WOODLAND CHALLENGE

We want to get our customers active and explore the amazing environment surrounding our centre. What better way to do this than introduce a few challenges along the way. We have set out our own orienteering trails where teams, armed with one of our trail maps, move from point to point and undertake different problem solving tasks.

FOREST SKILLS

Our activities are very interactive, relaxing and informative and we have a dedicated space onsite to deliver our courses. We seek to encourage, motivate, engage and inspire through positive outdoor experiences. It’s not just about the skills, it’s about the environment – active outdoor learning for everyone.

BOULDERING WALL

Our bouldering wall is a fun and challenging activity and it is also included in your adventure pass.  Learn how to traverse at 3 different levels – bouldering tests your agility balance and strength.  Our instructors are always on hand to support you if you need us.

OBSTACLE COURSE ELEMENTS

There are a total of 15 challenges for you to tackle on your journey.  You will need to balance, swing, climb, scramble, crawl and jump to conquer the challenges that we are going to set for you.  We supervise the course to ensure that you and the people around you are always safe.

It’s certainly not just a play-park, we are always on hand to support you and the challenges will test you.  Can you get from start to finish without falling off or placing a foot on the ground.  The course is located underneath the ‘Nets Adventure’

Book online

At weekends and school holidays you can access all of our activities by booking a package to suit your desired level of challenge. We have Nets and Ropes Course adventures awaiting everyone from the age of 3 years and above. We encourage all members of the family to join in the fun! 

the challenges

So much on offer, a total of 15 elements that will have you moving in all directions and ‘problem solving’ the best way to get around the course.  Don’t forget we will also introduce loads of individual and team targets for you to aim for.

The instructors are amazing and so encouraging when you have those occasional ‘I can’t do this’ moments! There are lots of them which means their organisation is second to none, safety is paramount and all this for a fantastically great value price! I didn’t know this place existed but I’ll be spreading the word, Thank you Challenge Academy!

 Claire Parker

Staff were first class, very patient and helpful. Safety is no1 priority but this doesn’t detract from the fun. Totally recommend this for something that the whole family can do together – it’s great for the kids to see Mommy and Daddy more scared than they are! Well done guys!

 Simon J

Thank you to all the staff for a brilliant fun educational day! It gave our pupils with less confidence a chance to shine and our pupils with confidence an extra challenge. The teamwork involved has encouraged our pupils to support each other not only during physical activities but also during class lessons. We will definitely be returning during the summer as one of our invaluable ‘Sports Experience’ programmes

 Rough Hay Primary School
