Families

Bring your family to CYE for 'unplugged' adventure and time together.

playtime for the whole family.

At CYE, play is priority! When families spend time here together they have a chance to grow in new ways. Relationships blossom as the pressure of the day-to-day is replaced with adventurous activities led by a life-filled team of instructors.

Come to CYE; let someone else do the cooking, set time aside to be together and experience all the benefits of being active outdoors with playtime as the focus.

We had a fantastic weekend, spending time as family doing new activities.  We enjoyed meeting new people and our daughter made new buddies. The staff were all lovely and super helpful.

FAQs

Let us put your mind at rest.  Please do get in touch if you have any other questions.

Is there parking at CYE?

Yes but it is limited. If you are dropping off your child, we would ask that you do this as quickly as possible. The car park is shared with Cobnor Activity Centre and can get very congested at pick up and drop off times.

My child left something behind after their visit to CYE. Can you help?

We keep lost property items for a maximum of 1 week before giving them to charity. In order to return them we ask you to arrange a collection using the Royal Mail website. They will be able to collect the item from CYE and get it to you. Please contact the office to arrange this.

My child has food they don't like/won't eat, what will happen at mealtimes to cater for them?

We have an amazing catering team who produce delicious, child-friendly, fresh food. Whilst we will always accommodate dietary requirements (allergies, vegetarian, vegan etc) we cannot accommodate individual preferences. The variety within each meal should mean that even the fussiest of eaters will be catered for.
