Forest Quest Challenge + Splash Zone Combo - Community Groups, Youth Clubs & Others 

Take Your Group on the Ultimate Forest Quest Challenge and Water Adventure!

If your group is looking for a fun, active day outdoors that builds confidence, encourages teamwork and gives young people a chance to switch off and connect, this is it!

Set across the stunning 800-acre Killruddery Estate, participants will take on the Forest Quest Challenge: 6 Zones which is an engaging, inclusive and action-packed adventure. Designed to promote teamwork, problem-solving and confidence-building, this outdoor experience is set in the beautiful surroundings of Killruddery Estate in our Giltspur Basecamp and is suitable for all fitness levels and abilities.

Over the course of 3.5 hours, partcipents will rotate through six exciting activity zones - each one offering a unique challenge to inspire creativity, determination and collaboration. Whether it’s mental puzzles, survival skills or physical challenges, every participant will play a vital role in their team’s success.

After a well-earned break to relax and refuel, the experience continues with 2 hours in Splash Zone - featuring Pontoon Mania, Splashdown Slide, Kayaking and the Water Jump.

No experience or high fitness levels are needed - just a positive attitude and a willingness to give things a go. It’s the perfect mix of fresh air, movement and fun in a safe and supportive environment.
