ALPACA WALKING
Your experience will begin with a health and safety briefing along with some alpaca facts, before demonstrating how to lead your alpaca. Once you have been partnered up with your new alpaca chum, your trekking escapade will begin with plenty of time for pictures and alpaca selfies!
CRIA WATCH
On our Cria Watch you will learn a little about babies and birthing before being taken out to the fields to meet the proud mums and gorgeous little ones. Please note that depending on the time of year our baby alpacas may have been weaned and your experience will be with yearlings!
- Available Monday - Thursday all year round.
- For ages 11+
- Designed for a minimum of 20 students and a maximum of 40 students
According to NSPCC Learning, in order to help keep students safe the recommended adult to child ratio is one adult to eight children (aged 11-18).
After reviewing our risk assessments with our animals we ask
for two adults per eight children (aged 11-18).
Per booking, the school must provide 2 teaching staff. To meet with our ratios the remaining adults must be representatives of the school in the form of employed staff, parents, guardians or volunteers.
