Obstacle course
at your venue
Separate elements that we turn into one course, tailored to how old the children are. Indoors in a gym or outdoors on the field.
Why age determines the course
A course that is too easy gets boring within ten minutes, and a course that is too hard leaves a few children who stop halfway and sit on the sidelines for the rest of the afternoon. That's why we build it differently for each group. We ask in advance about the ages and whether any children can't do certain things, and adjust the elements accordingly.
We bring the elements, build the course and take everything away again afterwards. We don't have a site or hall of our own. The course goes where you have space, or to a place we arrange if you don't have one.
- Elements, set-up and supervision included
- Indoors in a gym or warehouse, or outdoors on grass
- Built differently for each age group
- About an hour and a half for a group of thirty children
What is in the course?
A course consists of four types of element that alternate, so it is not only running and there is something in it that every child can manage.
Crawling and climbing
Tunnels, low nets and climbing elements that children have to go through and over. We set the height for the youngest participant in the group.
Balancing
Narrow beams and wobbly sections. This is the element where the pace naturally drops, which is exactly the point halfway through the course.
Aiming and throwing
An element that needs neither speed nor strength. Makes sure that children who are less sporty are good at something too.
The final sprint
A short, simple closing stretch that everyone can get through. That way every child finishes the course with something they can do.
How do you keep it safe?
We stand at the elements where that's needed and let children start at intervals, so there are never two on the same element at once. For a group of up to thirty children one instructor from us is enough, and above that someone is added. We also ask that an adult from your side stays nearby who knows the children.
In rain, beams and nets become slippery, and then we take out the elements where that matters or move indoors if that's possible. We agree this in advance, including the moment the switch is made, so it doesn't become a discussion on the morning itself.
A half day starts at €195. What it costs beyond that depends on the group size, the ages and how long it needs to last. Request a quote, and you get a concrete price instead of an indicative amount.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this and an assault course?
An assault course is one large course that children walk up to and go over one after another. An obstacle course consists of separate elements that we tailor to the age of the group and around which we run a programme, with supervision included. If you want a party that runs continuously, the assault course is more practical. For a group doing something together, this course is the better fit.
What ages do you build the course for?
We build the course differently for each age group. For four to six-year-olds the elements stay low and close together, from seven to ten more climbing and balancing is added, and from around age eleven time pressure and a second round can be added. For mixed ages we set up two routes side by side.
Can the course be set up indoors?
Indoors is possible, and it's one of the reasons groups choose this course. Most elements fit in a gym, warehouse or large canteen, and we only leave out the tallest ones. We ask about the ceiling height and the floor beforehand, so we know what is possible.
How many children can go through at the same time?
We start two to four children at a time, at intervals, so nobody is left waiting at an element. A group of thirty children takes about an hour and a half for a programme with two rounds and a finale.
