Where can we take our children do some outdoor activities?

Hi, not sure I’m posting in the right place. I want to take my 6 year old twins on a short break canoeing/climbing (lots of outdoor fun), in the UK. The places I have looked state a minimum age of 7. Is there anywhere I can take them that offers these kind of activities for younger children? Thanks!

Walesby Forest in Nottinghamshire. Its a Scout campsite which offers public camping and activity days.

These are great suggestions, thanks. Do you know what the accommodation is like? Presumably, basic?

centre parcs?
To be fair, I can see why they have a minimum age of 7, i used to take Cubs (8-11) kayaking and many of them struggled to hand the boats because they're really too small for them. They also need to be a confident swimmer in case they capsize!

Camping pods. There’s an ‘accommodation’ tab on the page I linked.
