Mountain Biking Day Camps

Join us on:

  • Friday 30th October

between 8:30am-5:30pm and are suitable for children aged 11-14 years old. We will provide all the equipment. You just need to bring a packed lunch (no nuts), refillable water bottle and wear sensible clothing and closed toe shoes.

The days will start with testing your cycling ability going through a series of drills. You will then break for an alternative activity such as high ropes or archery. After lunch you will take to our mountain bike track to start progressing through the course and trialing the elements.

Should our instructors feel that your child’s ability is not suitable for the day, we will find alternative activities for them to take part in should space be available. If no space is available you will be contacted to collect your child.

Wild Woodrow FAQs

What should my child bring with them?

Your child should come dressed in weather appropriate clothing (and suncream if needed), with indoor and outdoor shoes. They should bring a packed lunch (which must be nut-free) and a waterbottle. Please bring your swimming kit, in case swimming is on the agenda! Ensure that you clearly label all of your child’s belongings prior to them attending the camps. We cannot accept liability for any lost or damaged items, so please do not allow your child to bring or wear anything you wouldn’t want to get dirty, damaged or lost.

Where do I drop my child off?

Sign-In/Out is at the big marquee to the front of the main house. There will be a directional sign placed close to the main house door if you are unfamiliar with our site.

What do I do about lost property?

Please ensure all possessions are named to enable us to match items up with their owners. Lost property is kept for a short period of time before being disposed of, so please do not delay in calling 01494 433531 if your child has lost anything.

Your online booking system says that the day I want is fully booked. Can I come anyway?

It may be tempting to just turn up on the day without a booking, but if we are fully booked we urge you not to do this. We are not able to go above our instructor to child ratio for health and safety reasons and will not be able to accept your child on the day.

Yes. Our activity camps are Ofsted registered.

I want to buy some Wild Woodrow souvenirs for my child. What’s the best way to do this?

We are working on a way to allow customers to buy our souvenirs on the day. For now, the best way to buy is souvenirs is during the online booking process.

  • For cancellations made five or more days before booked date/s – 50% refund per cancelled day, per child.
