Croft Farm 2026

Monday 18th May 2026

We stopped at Oxford services for our lunch and are back on the coach excited to get to Croft Farm. We have been singing and talking with our friends and even playing "I spy" with the coach driver. Hoping for the rain to hold off for our first activity. 

We have arrived safely and have jumped straight into our first activities: archery tag, katakanuing and stand up paddle boarding. We are hoping the rain stops very soon! 

 

We have had dinner and some free time this evening and are now enjoying the campfire for the evening. We are looking forward to having some yummy roasted marshmallows. 

 

Tuesday 19th May 

We slept well and have had a great morning here, even in the rain! The children have been sailing, katakanuing, abseiling, axe throwing and doing some archery. 

We all had fun this evening playing Egg Protector. 

 

Wednesday 20th May 

We all slept well last night and are ready for a fun day of activities. 2 groups are on the water doing windsurfing and sailing. 

The other two groups are enjoying archery tag, axe throwing, archery and orienteering. 

En garde!  Enjoying ourselves learning to fence this afternoon. 

Some more afternoon activities: climbing, sailing and wing surfing.

We received our letters from home at lunch time; the children loved hearing from their loved ones. 

 Thursday 21st May 

 The children slept well again last night. We have had two groups on the water again doing windsurfing and stand up paddle boarding. The other two groups have been enjoying activities on land: axe throwing, fencing and initiative exercises.

A lovely day on the lake enjoying the sun.

We have been to the tuck shop and enjoyed some ice cream, drinks and treat. 

Time to figure out who killed Billy Banana in Cluedo this evening; Mr Giles has enjoyed this activity as much as the children. 

Competing some team challenges to get clues in Cluedo. Which team will guess the suspect, weapon and location correctly?
