Crazy Golf

Brand-spanking new for 2009, we have built our very own Crazy Golf course!!

This nine hole course full of twists and turns and tunnels (and even a mini-Oakes) will be a challenge for golfing professionals and novices alike. The question is: can you get below par? Come give it a try!

Ropes Course

Our most popular year-round activity, the low ropes course will be a fun challenge.

Your mission is to complete the course without touching the ground. Failing that, see how muddy you can get your friends on the mud swing, attempt to cross the lake on the rope bridge, or simply just monkey around!

Archery

If you fancy yourself as the next Robin Hood, give the archery range a shot!

Don't worry if you've never tried it before - our on-team GNAS trained instructors will soon have you consistently hitting the target. For extra points, hit the gold, pop some balloons or simply win a game!

Rafting

Rafting is a barrel of laughs that you won't soon forget.

Come along to a Rafts session and race around the island, swap rafts with another team, collect objects from the water for points, or just have fun getting wet! You'll need to come in the warmer months to enjoy this activity.

Remote Control Cars

Not old enough to drive? Well, you're old enough to enjoy Remote Control Cars!

You'll love racing around the course while trying to keep on the track. Fancy crashing your car through a tower of cups or racing backwards? You never know what challenges await you on our car track. Come experience it!

The Wall

Do you enjoy monkeying around? Sign up for The Wall and you'll feel right at home!

We have a 44 foot long traversing wall, along with an overhang and shelter for you to climb around. Our team will show you what to do and challenge you with routes and fun games! For more pics check out the Wall Climber website.

Craft

Enjoying a relaxing session in the Craft Room and let your creative juices flow.

Come make a masterpiece for yourself, a close friend, or even a family member. We supply the materials, you supply the imagination. We have seen some amazing creations, including frames, tea lights, plates, cards, mugs and more!

Bonfire

Watching the fire blaze at the bonfire pit is something not to be missed.

Not only do we enjoy watching the flames light up the night, but you will not soon forget the songs and the melted marshmallow in your hot chocolate. This Oakes evening tradition has been well-loved since the beginning.

Water Slide

The Water Slide is a favourite summer activity.

You'll struggle to find a water slide much longer than ours! At 30 meters, you've got quite a way to slide in order to reach the end. Can you do it? The only way to find out is to try - so come prepared for some slippery-slidey action!

Survival Club

If you fancy honing your outdoor skills, then this is the activity for you.

Try to build a fire with only what you find in the great outdoors. Next, build a shelter out of a tarp and some rope and then sleep under it that night, rain or shine! Survival club is only offered in the summer on older camps.

Mellow Club

Mellow Club is just like it sounds - a relaxing chill out session.

Older girls will enjoy painting nails, plaiting hair, and eating chocolate. It only runs on selected Summer camps, so hopefully we'll get a chance to hang out with you.. maybe on the lawn under the Sun!

Other Games

You can't come to The Oakes without playing a host of crazy games!

These games are full of twists that keep you and your team mates on your toes. Enjoy a little friendly competition as you vie for the highest score. You might need to get wet or do crazy things, but you'll have a great time doing it!

Free Time

Got a spare moment on camp? Free time definitely won't leave you bored!

Table games (air hockey, table football, pool, table tennis...), sports (football, basketball, frisbee, trampolining...), games (giant chess and draughts, board games...) and tuck shop - not to mention relaxing after an action-packed day!

Summer Themes

Each Summer we take camps at The Oakes to a new level.

The house is decorated, new games are created, and the team put on costumes!! Summer is also when our full range of activities becomes available! We are already thinking about this summer's new theme - what could it be?!
