Book a space for your child on our siblings day at the amazing Rugged Earth Adventure centre. The siblings will try all sorts of activities from Nerf guns, den building, campfire building and even cooking their own lunch!
Wear clothes and trainers you don’t mind getting muddy and wet. This event will carry on rain or shine- there are plenty of places to warm up and dry off. Water bottles, waterproof coat, hat and gloves if cold, change of clothes and wellies are required.
There will be ample Shooting Star staff and volunteers, so your child is well supervised and to ensure they get the most out of their session.
Please let us know of any dietary requirements, allergies, or medical needs. Please arrive a little early (10.40am) to fill in a siblings annual consent form where you can tell us about any medication etc.
We will run a waiting list for this event, so please email familyevents@shootingstar.org.uk if you would like to be added to this list.
