Updates for the Summer... What's new in July & August?

 

We've been blessed with some lovely weather over recent weeks and with the Summer Holidays months just around the corner, here's what you need to know about what's happening at SCO in July and August.

 

PAY & PLAY

 

We have just today released our Pay & Play bookings for July.
Booking times are likely to be highly popular, so if you are planning a break to the area in July, now is the time to book.
Our Pay & Play availability is released each month for the following month, so you'll be able to book August's activities from 23rd July.

Many of our summer holiday courses are at, or very near capacity already. If you are looking to book onto a sailing course, or Discovery Club, check now before they're all gone
We also have a couple of remaining spaces on Adult Sailing and Windsurfing courses coming up on weekends in July.

DISCOVERY CLUB

 

 

Our Discovery Club for ages 8 - 13 year olds was virtually full for the 6 weeks of summer when we checked this morning.
Following a review, we have been able to increase the numbers of each session back up to our regular group size of 10. So if you missed out initially, you might now find there is space on the days you were looking for.

LAUNCH MEMBERSHIPS

 

 

If you have your own kayak, canoe or paddleboard and would like to use it at the lake, take a look at our Launch Membership options.
They have to be of a minimum safety and quality standard, and you must be fully self-sufficient with your own paddles and buoyancy aids or leashes.
We have also just added a One Month Family Launch Membership, suitable for a family of 2 adults and up to 3 under 16's to launch their own boat or board for the month. Check out the details on the link below...

Our Lodge cafe is open 9:30am - 4:30pm 7 days a week, with late opening for our Club Nights till 7:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer.
We've just introduced our hot food service of freshly made paninis and toasties to suit all tastes and will be adding more options over the coming weeks.
With the hot weather, our iced coffees and frappés have been proving highly popular with a choice of caramel, vanilla, hazelnut, salted caramel, mocha and more.
You'll also find our deck is the perfect vantage point to enjoy your refreshments, watch the action on the lake and take in the views, with our new outdoor seating that arrived this week.

PARKING AND START TIMES

 

 

Like many places in the water park, when the sun comes out, everyone wants a piece of us.
Our car park can be a major pinch point, so when planning your visit, if you can walk or cycle, please do so. If you need to drive, please allow extra time, especially at weekends, before your booking in order to find parking and get checked in.
The car park can fill up very quickly, so please be considerate of others and make sure you park sensibly (it happens less than you'd think) and if the car park is full there is nearby parking at The Gateway Centre and off Station Road, just 5 minutes walk from us.
