Dolphin House Video
One of the instructors, Jim, from Dolphin House created this little video as a memory of our trip to Dolphin House last week.
Dolphin House – Day 4
What a brilliant week we have all had. We packed up all of our things from the Dorms & had a fun morning orienteering on the beach and throughout Culzean.
We went for our final feast of pizza and some ice-cream. We rounded off our week with a campfire and toasted some marshmallows. We found out who were the winners & got the most points from our Dorm inspections – well done to Lee, Leighton & Orren. We said a massive thank you to Neil, Jim, Steve, Calvin and Jim, as well as all of the other staff who made sure we had the most amazing stay.
Dolphin House – Day 3
We started off our day with a fab breakfast! We collected our packed lunches & packed up our outdoor kit bags. We went on the minibuses to Loch Doon to climb The Wee Hill of Craigmulloch. We learned lots of different map reading skills, how to use a compass & how to safely help & carry someone who may have sustained an injury, to a nearby road or access point for the emergency services.
We are also the only school so far, where every single person has climbed all the way to the peak. ⛰
We celebrated all our amazing achievements for the week & danced the night away at our disco hosted by the one & only Captain Calvin.
Dolphin House – Day 2
Day 2 has been another fantastic day filled with fun & excitement. After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we got all kitted up & went to explore the caves. We had great fun hearing about the smuggling that took place & exploring and scrambling through different parts.
After lunch we split into 2 groups & went on a mountain bike trail around the park and the other group completed archery then we swapped over.
Tonight we were learning all about different rocks & went searching for some on the beach.
P7 Dolphin House
What a busy start we have had to our P7 Residential! The first challenge of the day was making our own beds. Then we all got kitted out in our outdoor gear. We went on an exploration walk & played some games.
Tonight we went to the adventure park & played Hidey tig with our head-torches.
Can you spot any of our hiding places?
