Red Letter Days offer a great range of experiences especially for the juniors. Under 18s can now take part in great adventure days and new experiences including junior Rally driving, fame school, scuba diving and stunt flying with the Arrows. Learn to breathe under water and have the feeling of being weightless. Take the first steps to becoming a scuba diving with this junior taster session. First have a safety and an equipment lesson then you can put on full scuba gear and get into the pool. Use the equipment under water to get the full weightlessness feeling and breathe under water. Have fun and feel safe at the same time as an instructor will be there the whole time. At the end of the day take home a surprise gift. The junior scuba day is available for all healthy 10-16 year olds and group sizes are never more than 6 juniors per instructor. The experience will last two hours and costs £39. http://www.redletterdays.co.uk/Experience/Ref/XSDKD Do you love cars and high speeds but not old enough to drive them? The Junior Rally driving plus high speed ride experience could be just what you need. 10-17 year olds can drive an open topped framed Rally sport trainer designed for safety, balance and control. You are first taught how to use the car, then spend 30 minutes driving on a purpose built RST track with an instructor calling the corners. Have a chance to get on the hall of fame by doing a timed lap. Then experience 3 laps as a passenger in a high speed Focus Diesel Rally car. All children must be accompanied by an adult to the experience in Castle Donington, it lasts 4 hours and costs £125. http://www.redletterdays.co.uk/Experience/Ref/RHLPL The Arrows junior experience is a one in a million for those who wish to aim to sky and test their nerves.
