Looking for a weekend packed with adventure, great company, and the perfect mix of activities and downtime? Our Activity Holidays UK are designed to give you an unforgettable outdoor experience in Cornwall. From start to finish, we take care of everything—so you can just turn up and enjoy the ride.
You'll kick things off with two guided surf lessons, learning to ride the waves along Cornwall’s stunning coastline. Then, get ready for an exhilarating coasteering session, where you’ll explore hidden coves, leap into the sea, and scramble across rugged cliffs.
After a day of adventure, it’s time to unwind at our cosy campsite. Nestled in a peaceful woodland setting, it’s the perfect spot to relax with like-minded people. Enjoy pond dips, woodland games, and the simple pleasure of kicking back around a crackling fire.

Activity Details
FRIDAY EVENING
Arrival & Campfire Introductions
Welcome to your Camping Activity Holiday in the UK! Your weekend kicks off at our Newquay HQ at 6 pm, where you’ll meet your hosts and fellow adventurers. After a quick introduction and a rundown of the weekend itinerary, we’ll head to our private wild camp for a night of outdoor fun. If you're arriving via public transport, we can help organise a lift share with others.
Once at camp, your hosts will give you a tour of the site, including the shared bell tents (air bed provided), axe-throwing area, and hand-built games space. As the sun sets, settle in around the fire, get to know your group, and enjoy a relaxed start to your weekend of adventure.
YOUR WEEKEND SCHEDULE
The itinerary is shaped by the tides, weather, and surf conditions, so expect a flexible and exciting mix of activities. Whether you're new to watersports or have experience, our guides will ensure you feel confident and have an incredible time.
SATURDAY MORNING
Start your day with an energising surf lesson on Cornwall’s stunning beaches. Our expert instructors will take you through the basics or help you improve your technique if you've surfed before. There’s nothing like catching waves in the morning sea breeze!
LUNCH BREAK
After a busy morning, enjoy some downtime in Newquay. Grab lunch, explore the town’s surf shops, or just relax at our HQ. We’re happy to recommend great spots to make the most of your break.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Now it’s time for a thrilling coasteering session along Cornwall’s rugged coastline. Equipped with wetsuits and safety gear, you’ll scramble over rocks, jump into the sea, and swim through hidden coves—all under the guidance of our experienced instructors. Whether it’s your first time or you’re an adrenaline junkie, coasteering is always an unforgettable adventure!
SATURDAY NIGHT
After an action-packed day, we’ll head back to camp for a relaxed evening around the fire. Stock up on BBQ supplies and your favourite drinks before returning for a night of games, axe-throwing, and campfire stories. This is what Camping Activity Holidays UK are all about—good company, adventure, and the great outdoors. Fall asleep in your cosy bell tent, ready for another day of fun.
SUNDAY
Wake up to tea, coffee, and a light breakfast before packing up camp. Then, it’s time for your second surf lesson, building on everything you learned the day before. Whether you're standing up for the first time or refining your skills, our instructors will give you personalised tips to help you make the most of the waves.
By 1 pm, it’s time to say goodbye—but not without taking home new skills, great memories, and maybe even a few new adventure buddies. If you're looking for an active and refreshing break, our Camping Activity Holidays UK are the perfect way to escape, explore, and experience the best of Cornwall.
