The School of Adventure is about trying something new without having to commit to a whole weekend course, whether that is playing as a family, or tinkering with your bike. With everything from first aid to high ropes to caving, there are plenty of options available for the whole family to do as much, or as little, as they like. At the Big Shakeout there is something for everyone but with a common goal to bring a bunch of like-minded people together and have a great time doing what we love, and learning to love something new.
Places on these courses will be limited so you'll need to be quick.
