Callander Kids Clubs: Week of Paddleboarding, Archery & Bushcraft at Roll Outdoors

Callander, Scotland is the basecamp for a week of hands-on outdoor learning with Roll Outdoors’ Kids Clubs, a focused summer program for children aged 7–15. This five-day offering alternates water and land sessions—paddleboarding, pack-rafting, river trips and canoeing paired with archery, soft-axe throwing, bushcraft and woodland games—giving kids breadth and steady progression in practical outdoor skills. Mornings start with warm-ups and skill blocks; afternoons mix guided water time with team challenges, and each day ends with low-key cooldowns that help youngsters reflect on what they practiced. The landscape around Callander delivers the essentials for a versatile program: moving water for river-awareness training, loch-side paddling that sharpens balance, and mixed woodlands that create safe spaces for tool skills and shelter-building. Instructors move groups through staged progressions—giant SUPs and calm lake glides before guided river runs; archery targets and soft-axe ranges that teach coordination without unnecessary risk. Equipment is sized for kids and activities are layered so beginners find success while more experienced participants can push toward new challenges. Safety and pacing are built into the week: small-group coaching, daily warm-ups, supervised lunches and structured cooldowns reduce fatigue and keep focus. That balance makes the program attractive for parents who want a full week of outdoor learning without overtaxing young campers. Practical details are simple: pack season-appropriate layers, a sturdy water bottle and a small daypack with a dry change of clothes. The program pairs well with a family stay in Callander—short hikes, an evening in the village, or a relaxed paddle nearby make easy bookends to the week. For kids seeking a blend of excitement and skill-building, the Kids Clubs at Roll Outdoors deliver competence, confidence and social play in real outdoor conditions. Whether a child is trying paddling for the first time or aiming to expand bushcraft and archery skills, this program turns a single week into a foundation for future adventures in the Scottish outdoors. Parents can expect a consistent daily schedule—arrival and warm-up, skills sessions split between land and water, a supervised lunch, afternoon games and a cooldown with reflection. Staff provide basic instruction, carry group first-aid kits, and enforce age-appropriate groupings so skill progression is steady. The week is designed to be accessible for beginners while offering incremental challenges for returning campers, making it a reliable summer option in Callander. Book early.
