Safe supervised outdoor fun for kids ages 6–16 in Dorset
For this age range, the ideal activities need to balance fun, movement and safety.
Younger children need simple rules and guidance, while older children and teens want more challenge and competition.
That’s why structured outdoor activity centres are often the best fit—they adapt the experience to the group while keeping everything fully supervised.
At Laserguys, every session is instructor led from start to finish, meaning children are guided through the entire experience safely.
Outdoor laser tag – safe, active and highly supervised
Laser tag is one of the safest and most engaging outdoor activities for kids aged 6–16 because it combines teamwork, movement and structured gameplay without physical contact.
All games are designed and supervised by trained staff, with clear rules and mission-based objectives that keep children focused and active.
Laser tag includes:
Age-appropriate team missions
Outdoor battlefield-style arenas
Full instructor supervision
No physical contact gameplay
Easy-to-use equipment for all ages
Continuous structured activity
It is especially effective for mixed-age groups, where younger children and teenagers can play together safely.
Archery – structured skill learning in a safe environment
Archery provides a calmer but still engaging outdoor option for children within the 6–16 age group.
Sessions are carefully structured so beginners feel confident from the start, with step-by-step instruction and supervised practice.
Archery helps children develop:
Focus and patience
Hand-eye coordination
Confidence through progression
Safe handling of equipment
Controlled competitive games
It is ideal for children who enjoy skill-based challenges rather than fast-paced action.
Axe throwing – supervised challenge for older children and teens
For older children and teenagers in the 10–16 range, axe throwing provides a more advanced, structured challenge.
Despite its intensity, it is fully controlled and instructor supervised at all times, with safety briefing and guided practice built into every session.
Axe throwing includes:
Full safety instruction before play
Supervised throwing lanes
Step-by-step coaching
Target-based scoring games
Controlled progression from practice to competition
It is often chosen for older kids who want something more competitive and skill-focused.

Clear safety systems
Age-appropriate challenges
