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.

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.

OUR PROGRAMMES

ENGAGING ENVIRONMENTS

Located on the doorstep of the Black Country at Baggeridge Country Park, our site offers visitors a brilliant opportunity to get away from it all. We have made every effort to build an engaging venue that provides our customers with opportunities to get active, adventurous and learn about themselves and others. Our centre blends in to the surrounding environment – so visitors quickly forget about the stress of everyday life.

MORE THAN JUST AN ADVENTURE CENTRE

As a ‘not for profit’ company we want to make our facilities available to all and customer experience is also high on our agenda. We use indoor and outdoor spaces to promote learning and adventure, we also welcome other partners and users if they want to hire our facilities for the good of the community.

INDOOR CLASSROOMS

There are a number of indoor spaces onsite. We have 4 indoor classrooms with heating and air conditioning, smart-boards, networks, projectors and desks – each classroom accommodates 10 people but can be joined together to accommodate 20 people at a time If you want some workshop space then this can easily be achieved.

WOODLAND SHELTER

Woodland Shelter A meeting place with a difference, our onsite woodland shelter can house up to 40 people at a time. The perfect solution for ‘outdoor learning’ when the elements are a bit to harsh to deal with. We also use the shelter as a venue for birthday parties where organisers can set up their own meal and decorations at a small extra cost.

SPECTATORS

We have put a lot of thought into providing viewing areas where, if you are a spectator, then you almost feel part of the experience. Large decked areas with seating mean that you are able to encourage and support those who might need it when standing at least 30 ft off the ground. Visitor experience is very important to us.

WOODLAND ENVIRONMENT

Baggeridge Country Park provides an ideal setting for those looking for wildlife and those wishing to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. #IWILL volunteers from Ormiston SWB Academy have helped us to plant around our site to ensure that we blend within our immediate environment.

HIRE OUR SPACE

We include use of facilities as part of our programmes and packages but if you are just looking for an inspirational meeting space where you can work with your team or a venue with a difference to host a celebration then we will happily hire it out to you. Why not mix and match with some of our activities?

EVENTS

We hold various events throughout the calendar year when we theme things up and offer something a bit different. We advertise these events on our Facebook page and through our mailing list. A great opportunity for you to visit with family and friends and get involved in all that we have to offer.

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
