Activities

Here at Sherratts Wood District Campsite, we offer the following activities:

Archery

Archery is a target sport which is very popular with participants of all ages, from all sections. Our archery field includes our new covered seating area and shooting positions ensuring that rain doesn’t stop play.

Soft Archery

An introduction to archery, suitable for all ages. Enjoyed by all (especially the leaders) but particularly aimed at our younger members.

Air Rifle

Suitable for sections Cubs and above. Our rifle range is indoor and heated, creating a comfortable and safe environment for all year round shooting.

Climbing Tower

Our purpose-built climbing/abseiling tower is available complete with ropes, harnesses, helmets etc.

Slacklining

With the slackline secured between two trees, this is a great activity to develop balance and coordination. Fantastic fun for all ages.

Tomahawk Throwing

You’ll throw the tomahawk at a target from a distance, trying to get it to hit the target and stick into the wood. People of any age can get stuck in, as long as they can safely lift and throw the tomahawk or small hawk.

Crossbow Shooting

Crossbow shooting combines skills from archery and pistol shooting. You shoot bolts, which are like shorter versions of the arrows used in archery. Crossbows use a trigger to shoot the bolts, a bit like in rifle or pistol shooting.

You shoot at a target, usually from 8 to 20 metres away. You’ll have to keep an eye on the target as you pull back the bowstring and set the bolt in place. Don’t worry if you don’t get it right first time – take a deep breath, set another bolt in the crossbow, and adjust your aim for your next try
