overview

We will come to your school and bring our high energy military style ‘boot camp’ with us!

Two of our instructors will come to your school, set up an 80 foot camouflaged inflatable assault course and lead a military style boot camp. Children will carry out age appropriate fitness games as well as getting plenty of time to test themselves on our assault course. We can deliver our sessions to the whole school or bespoke our a sessions to fit your requirements.

What to expect

Two qualified and experienced instructors can deliver to the whole school in a day. Each year group is split into two groups. One group tackle the assault course, the other group are led in robust fun military style physical PT. The groups then swap over so everyone gets to do both activities. Each year group get approx 45 mins with us (reception normally get about half an hour which, from our experience, is about right). The emphasis is on high energy fun that get the children very active – we have been told the children usually sleep well after a session with us.

Shoes/ pumps/ trainers can not be worn on the inflatable assault course (the Go Commando directing staff will manage this).

Will it be tiring?

Yes, it will be very tiring! All children must have a drink with them. If it’s hot, suitable sunscreen and a hat should be provided.

What if it’s wet and windy?

The assault course is pegged down, however, the risk assessment dictates that the inflatable should not be used in winds over 25 MPH.

A light rain shower is fine but if there’s persistent rain, the inflatable assault course can’t be used.

Our equipment is big, bulky and heavy. We will need direct vehicular access to your outdoor space which should be a grassed area measuring a minimum of 80 meters by 40 meters.

Do we need to provide electrical power?

Yes. We will bring a back up generator but it is very loud. We also bring all the cabling but will require access to two plug sockets.

Is it suitable for all ages of school children?

Yes. We can do a two form entry school in a day – reception getting about half an hour, years one to six about 45 minutes.

What happens if the inflatable starts to deflate?

As part of the risk assessment, the Go Commando directing staff have an acme thunderer whistle. This will be repeatedly blown until the inflatable has been evacuated.
