 We have arrived and are so excited to get started on our activities!

 

Group 1 & 2 Day 1

Groups 1 and 2 have been taking part in Rope skills, icebreaking challenges and trust exercises to ease theirselves into the more challenging activities that they will be attempting in the next few days. After dinner we are off out in the dark to take part in night orienteering and the Enchanted forest.

Day two

  Groups 1 and 2 after enjoying the delicious breakfast this morning.

 

Group 1 had the best morning challenging themselves on the high ropes. The challenge by choice motto was definitely put to the test as the children jumped from great heights and tested their balancing skills. Even the adults got in on the action! Air jump after lunch to keep the challenge going.
