HAF: Survival Squad – Survival Games Camp!

🧭 Survival Squad – Survival Games Adventure!

Calling all young explorers, adventurers and problem-solvers! Are you ready to join the Survival Squad?

Join Sheffield Young Explorers for an action-packed Survival Games experience designed for children aged 5–12 years. This exciting four-hour session will challenge children to think, explore, work together and put their survival skills to the test through a range of fun, practical and team-based activities.

Survival Squad is all about learning through adventure. Children will be divided into teams and encouraged to complete different missions, challenges and survival-inspired games, developing their confidence and skills along the way. From testing their sense of direction to solving problems and working as a team, there will be plenty to keep our young explorers busy!

🌟 More than just games

Survival Squad has been designed to combine fun with meaningful learning. Through the different activities, children will have opportunities to develop resilience, confidence, independence, communication, teamwork, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
