Fairthorne Group
5 Night Camps
Residential Themes
Here at Fairthorne Manor we realise that every child is different. Our traditional outdoor activities really hit the spot for thousands of children who visit us every year, but they're not right for everyone. That's why we've carefully designed a range of themed camps to offer in 2010 and we're sure there will be one to suit your child!
Action Camp
An extension of our established and celebrated Daycamp programme. Children attending this camp can expect to take part in the following activities;
- Kayaking
- Climbing
- Aerial Runway
- Raft Building

The action packed week will include a range of other games and activities such as; bouncy pillow, abseiling and wide games. Action Campers will return home with massive grins, tales of adventure and lots of muddy clothes (sorry!).

Run in conjunction with our neighbours, Pinkmead Equestrian Centre, this camp is perfect for pony lovers! Typical sessions during the week can include;
