What students take away
A day on the course is a day of small risks, quick decisions, and encouragement from classmates. Here's what teachers tell us their students bring back.
Confidence
Students who arrive nervous finish the course having done something they didn't think they could. Teachers tell us this is the part they still hear about weeks later.
Resilience
Obstacles rarely work on the first try. Students problem solve, fall back, and go again in a setting where struggling is normal and safe.
Teamwork
Classmates coach each other through sections. Students who don't usually lead often end up doing it.
Physical literacy
Balance, grip, coordination, and spatial awareness, used continuously across a course rather than practiced in drills.
Group rates
Per student, plus tax. Minimum 15 participants on the same course.
| Adventure Course | Ages | Minimum height | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kids Course | 5 to 12 | 3'9" (114 cm) | From $22.99 |
| Classic Course | 5 to 18 | 4'8" (142 cm) | From $34.99 |
Easy arrangements
Planning your visit
Your group has its own schedule
Your group host builds a plan around your group size and arrival time, and handles chaperone requirements, waivers, and check-in.
Certified guides run the activity
Element Guides demonstrate the course, fit equipment, and coach students throughout the visit. All course equipment is provided.
Plan on a half day
Exact timing depends on group size and how many courses you are splitting across. Your host will confirm a schedule when you book.
Every ability is included
Students choose their own routes and can stop at any point. Nobody is pushed to go higher than they want to.
Waivers and supervision
Every student needs a WildPlay waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Students 13 and under must have a responsible adult on site.
If it rains
Courses run in light rain. If conditions become unsafe we close, and your group is rescheduled or fully refunded.

From the teachers
What schools tell us
One of the best loved outings ever, by the kids, by their parents and by us teachers.
Our students finished the course with more confidence than when they started. The staff were warm, professional, and extraordinarily patient.
Staff went above and beyond to ensure one of our neurodivergent students felt safe, secure, and completed the course.
