The Essence of Father-Son Bonding Activities
The reality is that we live in a world that values screens over the outdoors. Year on year, you find more children and teens distancing themselves from the thrill and excitement of being outdoors.
Father-son outdoor activities can strengthen your bond in more ways than one. Where you may forget about a trip to the bowling alley, our adventure activities meant for dad’s and son’s are sure to make lasting memories.
If you’re looking to spend quality time together with your son (with noise, mud and adrenaline), it’s time to plan your father-son adventure day in Leicestershire.
Here’s our handy guide on planning the ultimate father-son adventure day with Avalanche Adventure.
What Makes A Great Father-Son Adventure Experience
A memorable father-son adventure experience doesn’t have to be something extraordinary. It’s more about experiences and activities that let you bond with your son. Having hosted scores of guests, including families, dads, and sons, we know a shared experience can bring more than just fun.
Here’s the mix of activities we recommended for a thrilling father-son adventure experience:
Trying something you’ve never done before is a great way to make the day feel special. Whether you’re having a go at driving a rugged 4×4 Land Rover or shooting clay pigeons, it’s a novelty that adds extra excitement.
Both dad and son must get involved, because the best experiences are usually hands-on. From driving around an opposite steer buggy amidst laughter or competing for the first bullseye in archery, it’s all about making memories.
You could also choose from driving a JCB digger, or racing each other through the woodlands of Northamptonshire on a quad bike.
Our List of Father-Son Outdoor Activities
Activities that require a valid driving licence include:
Land Rover Driving Experience: Enjoy a shared or solo experience driving the rugged-terrain conqueror, with durations ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Blindfold Driving: Put your communication skills to the test as the blindfolded driver operates a Land Rover Defender while the other navigates with clear, precise directions. Best done in a group of four or more, imagine an hour of confusing lefts from rights and endless laughter.
Activities for those aged 12 years+ and require no licence:
Quad Bike Safari: Ride across farmlands and woodlands through 400 acres of tracks on Honda 250cc bikes with a 5-speed semi-automatic gearbox. Ideal for 2 or more people, pick 1- or 2-hour activity durations.
Target-Based Activities: Archery, blindfold archery, clay-pigeon shooting, and axe throwing are other great ways to blow off some steam.
What To Expect From A Digger Adventure Experience
Lastly, in our experience, there’s no better way to bond as father and son than our JCB digger driving experience.
For those 17 years and older with a valid driving license, this is your chance to enjoy a shared or solo experience of driving a mighty vintage JCB 3CX Digger.
You’ll be guided by one of our friendly instructors on how to handle the controls and get ready to move rubble and, well, dig! You’ll also get plenty of time to get used to the control before you begin your 60-minute solo experience or 90-minute shared 2-person experience.
Regardless of which option you choose, this is one epic father-son bonding activity you don’t want to miss!
