TEAM 5 NEMO

What an exciting excursion we had to France, from our coach journey to Dover, enjoying time on the ferry over to Calais, and more coach time to our campsite in Paris! Team Nemo loved keeping themselves entertained on the journey- making friendship bracelets, completing Disney wordsearches and colouring sheets, listening to music, reading books, and watching movies on the TV screens above their heads! The time certainly went much faster than we expected it to! For some young carers, it was their first experience on being on board a ferry, and our first journey was pretty rocky due to the wind! Team Nemo explored everything the ferry had to offer including shops, lounges, arcades, and top deck for the best views! Our young carers even saw seals on the beach as we approached Calais!

They were all extremely excited to have arrived in France, and even more excited when we arrived at our final destination after more time on the coach! Team Nemo had a wonderful time at the campsite, enjoying all of the activities on offer, and they certainly had the cleanest lodge due to their ‘no shoes in the house’ rule! When it came to Disneyland, it was clear that Team Nemo’s young carers were a group of adrenalin junkies! With little interest in the parades or character meet and greets, they headed straight for the rides! For one of Team Nemo, Hyperspace Mountain was their first experience of a rollercoaster! When she came off the ride she was heard saying ‘that was exhilarating!’ and after that she went on five more rollercoasters! Fantastic!
