Below are all the activities we run on site. Some are leader led, some are self led. These all need to be booked. 

Our leader led activities need booking with the activity coordinator with at least 4 weeks notice to allow our coordinator sufficient time to try and accommodate the request and find instructors. 

Our onsite activities can be booked in advance through the activity coordinator  or while on site through the warden (however there is no guarantee these will be available and not already booked.)

To book your activities please complete the Activity Booking form – Blackhills Activities request form V2023
