Winter Updates at Red Rock Outdoor Ltd!

Carl Burnett • 3 March 2025

 Preparing for an Exciting 2025

1st March 2025
As winter draws to a close and we look ahead to another exciting season at Red Rock Outdoor Ltd, we wanted to share some of the improvements and developments we've been working on over the past few months. While our activities may slow down in the colder months, our commitment to creating an incredible experience for visiting schools and groups never stops!
Enhanced Security for Peace of Mind
One of the biggest updates to our site is the installation of a brand-new security fence around the property. This not only adds an extra layer of safety but also provides reassurance to parents, teachers, and group leaders. We understand how important it is for schools to know that their students are in a secure environment, and this investment reflects our ongoing commitment to safety and well-being.
Expanding Our Natural Landscape
We’ve been busy planting a huge number of trees across our four camping villages—Willow, Hazel, Mountain Ash, and Elderberry. These trees will enhance privacy between each village, making for a more immersive and peaceful camping experience. Not only will they create natural divisions, but they will also contribute to the overall beauty of the site and encourage local wildlife to thrive.
Of course, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing! The local deer have taken quite a liking to our young saplings, treating them as an all-you-can-eat buffet. While this has posed some challenges, we’re doing our best to protect the trees and ensure they have the chance to grow into a stunning addition to the camp.
More Storage & Fresh New Look
Behind the scenes, we’ve been working on enhancing our storage areas, ensuring we have everything neatly organised and ready to go for the busy season ahead. We’re also giving the dining hall a fresh coat of paint and some extra decorative touches, making sure it’s looking its best for our 2025 visitors.
Exciting New Activities & Instructors for 2025
Extensive planning has gone into making this season better than ever. We have brand-new activities lined up, designed to challenge, excite, and engage our visiting groups. Some are still in development, but we can’t wait to reveal what’s in store soon!
In addition, we’re welcoming new instructors to our team, bringing fresh energy and expertise to our camps. Their skills and enthusiasm will enhance the experience for all participants, ensuring that every visitor to Red Rock Outdoor Ltd has an unforgettable adventure.
Looking Forward to the Year Ahead
With all these developments, we are beyond excited for the upcoming season. Whether it's school residentials, activity days, or outdoor learning experiences, we are gearing up for our best year yet. A huge thank you to our dedicated team for their hard work over the winter months—we can't wait to welcome you all back to Red Rock Outdoor Ltd in 2025!
Stay tuned for more updates, and if you haven’t booked your school or group trip yet, get in touch soon to secure your preferred dates. See you in the great outdoors!

Inspiring Growth and Well-being Through Outdoor Play
by Carl Burnett & Graeme Mooney 14 January 2025
In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, children are spending more time indoors than ever before. Screens have become a central part of daily life, often replacing traditional outdoor activities. However, outdoor play is crucial for the holistic development of children, impacting their physical health, mental well-being, and social skills. At Red Rock Outdoor Ltd, we offer a variety of activities to help children thrive. 1. Physical Development Outdoor play enhances strength, coordination, and fitness. Activities like our Red Rock Rampage assault course, paddleboarding, kayaking, and windsurfing keep children active while building motor skills and promoting a healthy lifestyle. With the growing concerns around childhood obesity, outdoor play is a natural and enjoyable way to keep children active and healthy. 2. Cognitive and Emotional Growth Outdoor challenges stimulate creativity and problem-solving. Activities such as scavenger hunts, and archery foster critical thinking and resilience. Time in nature reduces stress and boosts mood, improving overall mental well-being. 3. Social Skills and Teamwork Group activities like our team-building challenges, mega SUP fun, and beach games teach communication and collaboration. These interactions help children form friendships, build confidence, and develop empathy for others. 4. Connection to Nature In an era where environmental awareness is becoming increasingly important, outdoor play fosters a connection to nature from an early age. Exploring natural spaces instils a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around them, laying the foundation for lifelong learning. Discovering nature through woodcraft, snorkelling, or our Nature Trail helps children develop a sense of wonder and environmental awareness, encouraging them to care for the planet. 5. Mental Health Benefits Outdoor play reduces stress and increases happiness. Activities like our Survival SOS experience or windsurfing combine physical activity with nature, promoting emotional balance and resilience. 6. Breaking Screen Time Dependency Excessive screen time has been linked to various developmental issues, including attention deficits, sleep disturbances, and behavioural problems. Encouraging outdoor play provides a healthy alternative to screen-based entertainment, helping children develop a balanced lifestyle. It also gives them the chance to engage in unstructured play, which is critical for fostering independence and imagination. Encouraging Outdoor Play At Red Rock Outdoor Ltd, we make outdoor activities accessible and exciting. Whether it’s a day of watersports, or an adventurous assault course, we provide opportunities for children to grow and flourish while having fun. Outdoor play is vital for children’s health and development. By participating in activities like those offered at Red Rock Outdoor Ltd, children can enjoy a balanced lifestyle, improve their mental health, and develop essential life skills.
