Mini Adventures

January 2022

I wanted to give you some feedback from Tuesday evening. The boys loved the raft building, it was a great experience for them! Also I really like how you change the meeting point each time so that they experience different parts of the area, it’s also nice for me too as I have their little brother with me when they are at the Adventure Club and as it’s too far to go home we go off for a mini adventure. This week we went to Abereiddy and the Blue Lagoon, last week was Whitesands and the week before was the Cathedral!


Awesome Memories

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all, they really enjoyed yesterday. You guys are certainly making some awesome memories with them and I can't thank you enough for the opportunities.

Brilliant

March 2022

Brilliant, thanks so much - my daughter had the best time tonight so much thanks to all the staff and the bonus for me was visiting part of the county I've never been to before despite living here all my life. You all do an amazing job, thank you

Frequently Asked Questions

What activities does the club offer?

Each session is designed to make the most of the conditions on the day, and will typically be a mix of outdoor adventures, problem solving skills and personal development. The kit list (for wet or dry sessions) will be shared 4 days before each date. 

How does the 6 week programme run?

Our Adventure Club runs in 6 week blocks and is designed to enhance physical literacy, motivation, confidence and competence in each of our adventure disciplines. Join us for 6 weeks blocks of Coasteering, Wild Cooking, Surfing, Kayaking etc. We aim for Adventure Club to provide a skill set and confidence to encourage a lifetime of adventures.


An example of a Coasteering block is below: 


Week 1) Weather & effect - Ground Swell / Local wind / Water Management

Wk 2) Equipment training & its uses - Why do we use kit? - Throw line practice

Wk 3) Jump Brief / Safety Brief & Defensive swimming training - Movement over rocks

Wk 4) Nature & our impact - Assessment of kit usage - Practice briefings

Wk 5) Jump Brief Assessment - Defensive swimming assessment

Wk 6) Party session - Run your own session & Award ceremony

Who is the club for?

The club is for children from Pembrokeshire only. The club has one session for 8-11 year olds and another for 12-16 year olds.

What equipment do I need?

We will provide you with all equipment needed for the sessions. If you need to borrow a wetsuit then please let us know before the session

What if I can't swim?

When taking part in any wet activit you will be provided with all necessary flotation equipment (Buoyancy Aid for kayaking and coasteering and surfborad for surfing). 


We run these sessions at a small ratio of 1 guide to 8 participants which enables close support and supervision. 


While our activities are not specifically designed to teach swimming the water confidence gained while out on session along with the basic swimming techniques given by the guide will get your kids swimming in no time! 

How long is the session?

Each session is 2.5 hours long

What if I'm running late?

Please make sure that you arrive on time for the session, as the session times are relatively short it has a big impact on the other participants if one person is late. Late arrivals might not be able to participate depending on the activities. 

Where does the session take place?

Our club will run from a different location each week depending on the activity and the best location for the conditions. We will inform you of the location 4 days prior to the activity. 

When are the sessions?

 - Tuesdays | 16:00 to 18:30 | 8-11 year olds

 - Wednesdays | 16:00 to 18:30 | 12-16 year olds

My child is younger than 8, can they come?

For the time being we're just running the club for the two age cohorts (8-11 and 12-16). We intend to increase this offering in the autumn though so watch this space. 

How much are the sessions?

Individual sessions cost £7 each, but discount is available when booking multiple sessions - please call us or email play@tyf.com to arrange. If you are not able to make this payment then please get in touch via play@tyf.com and we will do our best to help.
