What will students see and do?

Nuclear Races Wild Forest provides an unforgettable experience.
It’s an opportunity for kids to get out of the classroom, learn about themselves, overcome fears and face challenges head-on.

Nuclear Races high ropes obstacle course is located in the forest surrounding a famous nuclear bunker that was built as a potential seat of government in the Cold War – now a museum.

All the obstacles are child-friendly, and as they are all outdoors, children should prepare to get muddy. The course is approximately 3km with about 20 obstacles. Scramble under army nets, scale a 4ft wall, master the monkey bars, battle over haybales and crawl through tyre tunnels.

Groups usually arrive at around 10am. On arrival, the group will have a snack and drink and change into their race-ready clothes.

At 10.30am there will be a safety briefing and a chance to meet the team.

Between 10.40am and 1pm children start making their way through the obstacle course.

After they have completed the race, there is the opportunity to shower, change out of their muddy clothes and eat lunch. Return to school is at 2pm.
