Activities

paid to discipline and safety on our indoor ranges and our sessions are fully inclusive.

Woodland Ranger

Our Woodland Ranger sessions are very popular and can be spread between our on site facilities and the woods just 5 minutes walk away. All Woodland Ranger activities are run by qualified Forest schools and Mountain Leaders who are also former teachers. We believe in holistic and experiential learning and giving children time and space to explore their natural environment while maintaining the highest standards of Health and Safety.

Popular activities include den building, various methods of fire lighting, cooking marshmallows and for the younger ones, the story of Dragons and the little woodland people, making Dragon’s breathe bracelets and campfire stories.

Advanced Bushcraft

For older groups we have the option of using some tools associated with bush craft including the bow saw and small knives for whittling and creating your very own tent pegs or whatever your creativity allows you to do. We also offer more advanced fire lighting, gutting and cooking fish and even offer some fried crickets for dinner!

Climbing & Abseiling

Climbing & Abseiling takes place on two purpose built towers within the centre grounds. Following an introductory session on the basic tower with some confidence building abseiling and basic rope handling and safety techniques we can introduce our climbers to the ‘Sky tower’ with over 400 holds and 20 routes of varying degrees of difficulty. On this activity you will not only climb but get involved in keeping each other safe by working as a team and helping to belay. And NEW for the 2023 season will be the ‘Aqua Wall’ a 6 metre traverse over the swimming pool…if you fall off, you just get wet!

Kayaking & Paddle boarding

We offer Kayaking on our ‘Sit on tops’ as well as Paddle boarding, a sport quickly growing in popularity globally. In our continued efforts to be as inclusive as possible, we even have a couple of ‘Pedalos’ for those who may not be quite as adventurous!

Orienteering

Tackle the onsite orienteering course and get to grips with following the map to collect the letters and solve the mystery before heading down to the woods and trying one of our larger courses. We have the option to take this further and introduce compass work and set up a different route which would be a good introduction before any of the walks. and links in very nicely with school National Curriculum studies.

Raft Building

Raft Building is a team exercise using barrels and ropes. It must hold together and, of course, float when put to the test on our lake. An excellent team event with groups racing around the islands on the lake to be the first to finish. All safety equipment is provided and the activity is monitored by our fully qualified staff who will shepherd you through the complicated process of knots and lashings and hitches.

Sky Tower

The sky tower hosts our high ropes course that will offer a challenge and will develop team spirit, communication skills and problem solving skills. We will instruct you in the skills of group belaying that develops trust and responsibility and enables everyone to participate. The aim is to climb and clamber up, over, across and down the elements helping each other as you go.

The zip-wire is really fun and offers a chance for clients to test their nerve. Connected to a steel wire suspended from 10 metres above the ground. You’ll get a ‘roller coaster’ rush as you rapidly accelerate along the 70 metre wire. Our Sky Tower is inspected by High Time Technical Consultants Ltd every year.

Walking

Walks for all ages along the beautiful Ceredigion coastal path from the centre, with a chance to see seals, dolphins and a whole range of wildlife.

Sailing

Llain Activity centre has teamed up with the CBW sailing centre in New Quay. As a recognized RYA training centre you are in the very best hands for this truly incredible opportunity. Clients are taught the basic techniques with a safety boat in attendance at all times for extra support.
