Activities
Some of the activities that the group involve their members in are:
- Canoeing
The Group regularly takes its members canoeing during the summer months. Most members have never been in a canoe before they join the group, so this is a great experience for them. The group has 6 staff who are qualified canoe instructors, at different levels. .
- Rock Climbing
Many of the Staff are rock climbing enthusiasts and we have one professionally qualified leader, (a number of others will soon become qualified also) as a result this has become another a main activity of the group. We travel to as far as North Wales or as near as Helsby near Frodsham for outdoor climbs in the summer and use the climbing wall in Warrington for winter climbing.
- Mountaineering
Mountaineering, is one of the groups best activities, it can range from a simple hill walk to an all out scramble up a Mountain, The Members of the group can feel a real sense of achievement, when finally after maybe 2-3 hours they are at the summit of a mountain that they thought they could never climb. It's a fun day out and enjoyed by everyone. The Groups has two Professionally qualified Leader and a number of other who are working towards this award.
- Map Reading
This is a very important skill for members of the group during both Mountaineering and training for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Expedition. Skills are usually work on during the winter session at the group building.
- Sponsorship Exercises
Since The Moulton Adventure Group is a Charity, sometimes its members aid with fund raising. Before now such fund raising activities have involved litter picks around the village and stalls at fairs.
- Quizzes / Brain teasing activities
The group arranges a lot of activities, from quizzes to problems that involve its members to think their way out of. These are designed to improve navigation and other key skills.
- Fast Moving Games
The group ensures that there are a lot of fast moving games throughout the year for the group members. These range from things like Non-stop cricket and Quoits to The Tire Game and races.
- Fitness and Exercise Activities
The group runs a small number exercise and fitness workouts every week at the building, this is to encourage members to become more involved with fitness exercise routines.
- The Duke of Edinburgh Award (+14)
The Duke of Edinburgh Award can be achieved through the group and is one of the main activities for the +14 year old members of the adventure unit. The group aid with their members to achieve Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. It proves to be a very enjoyable experience with a recognised award at the end of it.
