Adventure day planning checklist

A simple checklist for the weeks before, the week of and the day of an adventure day. Use it alongside the directory, then ask us if you would like help planning the day.

What should you check before an adventure day? Confirm the details with the provider, tell your group what to bring and have a wet weather plan.

Use this as a starting point and add your own items.

A few weeks before

  • Confirm the date, time and meeting point in writing
  • Confirm the final numbers and any access or dietary needs
  • Check the age, weight and fitness limits for everyone
  • Ask about the wet weather plan and the cancellation terms

The week before

  • Send people a short note with the time, the address, what to wear and what to bring
  • Check the weather and the provider’s latest message
  • Arrange transport and parking

On the day

  • Arrive a little early
  • Bring water, a snack and a dry change of clothes
  • Keep valuables at home or locked in the car
  • Listen carefully to the safety briefing

Afterwards

  • Thank the provider and the group
  • Ask what went well, and what to change next time
