Shelter building!
One of our favourite activities was shelter building. Our group’s being quite good though we had to hold some bits together. When they poured a bucket of water on us, we got soaked. Luckily, we had raincoats on. The water was freezing!!! Unluckily, they saw our weak points through our den.
Scavenger hunt
Another one of our favourites was the scavenger hunt. It was so exciting. We had to find red clips that were connected on trees and posts. Our group found seven out of ten, some of them were hard to find, while others were easy.
River dipping
Do you want to discover underwater creatures? Well, we do! In river dipping we do exactly this. Our group was amazing. At the start we couldn’t find anything except rocks and sand. After a bit we found a crayfish and then after a bit another! We named it John after the person who showed us river dipping. How we did it was we shuffled our feet in the sand to make the creatures buried underneath rise to the top of the sand. It sure worked!!
Fire lighting
Another activity that we did was fire lighting. It was so interesting to learn how to do it and our group’s fire was the winner based on height. We used a flint and steel to light it.
Once it was lit, we used sticks starting from pencil led to fat thumb to keep it going while it grew.
Dorms
In our dorms we had a lot of free time which was so much FUN!!! We were with all of our friends in an 8-bunk room. In our opinion it was just fabulous! We’d definitely recommend an 8-person dorm because it perfect. In the nights we had a great sleep too.
Food:
On the first night for dinner, we had lasagne, the second, Spaghetti Bolognese and the third a B&Q.
