L4 Camp

On the week starting 23rd May L4 went to Ardvreck school in Crieff for our 5-day camp. Over the week, there was a wide variety of outdoor activities to choose from and each of the six groups got to do a different activity each day. The activities included stand up paddle-boarding, canoeing, rock-climbing, laser tag, high ropes and air rifle shooting. On the Tuesday, we had a day of Geography fieldwork, where we covered both the human and physical geography of Crieff. On the Thursday we did a long hill walk to a campsite where we were camping out in big bell tents. We had a great time cooking smores around the campfire! Overall, it was a great week and we had lots of new and exciting experiences whilst doing some activities which put us just beyond our comfort zone. Lily and Sacha, Lower 4

‘Camp was adventurous, fun and challenging.’ Anna

‘My favourite activity was paddle boarding because it was really fun to fall in and watch people fall off and spray each other. The ending where when we got to run and jump into the water was really fun as well.’ Lucy

‘A new skill I learnt was climbing, specifically about how you need to rely on a mix of both your lower and upper body strength at different times, and you have to think of strategies on how to scale what you are climbing.’ Cherise

‘A skill I developed was confidence. I will be less scared when doing public speaking in future.’ Sophie
