Build a den at Stanwick Lakes this Easter holiday!
A Ranger will lead your group to our den building area and introduce you to the tools and materials available, and discuss the min main properties a shelter should have if it were to be needed in a survival situation. You’ll then be set a challenge to build your den! One of our Ranger team will be on hand to visit your shelter and hear about your chosen den-building techniques and vision.
Sessions last approx. 60 minutes and a responsible adult must be present throughout. Meet at the Ranger Cabin 5 mins before and your chosen, ticketed start time.
Den building is most suitable for children aged 3+, however, because a parent or guardian must be present at all times, we accept parent/guardian discretion.
Please check our website on the day of your session for information regarding flooding – wellies may be advisable!
Please also ensure you check your chosen date/time carefully as refunds will not be given.
Below you can book Den Building for the date of Thursday, 10th April 2025.
