Outdoor Adventure for Easter Holiday
With trees blooming, sun shining, and Easter school holidays fast approaching it’s the time to discover your adventurous side. Why not spend the holidays exploring the water and woodland with canoe trips and nature walks around the Rivington & Adlington area and trying out activities like raft building, archery, and abseiling as well.
Anderton Centre offers activities including bug hunts, low ropes or wild den building win an introduction to archery, canoeing and tree climbing for anyone aged 6-15. During school holidays the Adventure Club runs from 9.30am to 4pm
David Germain, the CEO and managing director of the centre, says, “We are passionate about the outdoors and its benefit to young people. As a charity, we aim to introduce young people of all backgrounds to outdoor activities in a safe and exciting environment.
“On our Adventure Club children will take part in multi-outdoor activity days to suit the group and the weather on each day focusing on the environment and exploring nature whilst having fun.
“Groups will be separated on the day, allowing for appropriate age separation with more variety and opportunities to take part in adventurous activities.
“Our multi outdoor activity days are flexible depending on the group’s ability and weather. We aim to provide a varied programme throughout the week; however, we cannot guarantee a specific activity on any day.
We’d like children to try land-based activities such as high ropes, tree climb, crate stack, archery and bushcraft; but we also keen on taking advantage of our location and let kids enjoy water activities such as canoeing, raft building, sailing or stand up paddleboarding. Young people may also scale the local landmark Rivington Pike.”
Anderton centre is located just off the M61. It’s ideally placed for families living or working in Bolton, Chorley, Preston, Wigan and Blackburn and further afield. The site is spread across 4 acres of woodland and has exclusive use of Lower Rivington Reservoir, the largest expanse of water between the Midlands and the Lake District and is often referred to as Lancashire’s mini Lake District
