Question of the day… who doesn’t love mac and cheese with garlic bread?

Good News!! Everyone slept very well- no issues reported and the first night was just amazing!

An early start after a hearty breakfast- the day started cold and cloudy but moods were bright and happy. Morning activities were Cat-Walk and Problem Solving. Many of our young people challenged themselves today, especially overcoming heights and team challenges. The crate climb record was broken today- an amazing height of 11 crates carefully and strategically placed to help the teams succeed. Catwalk was an amazing experience where all our young people climbed high, and managed The Macarena dance at some point during the descent! Problem solving tested our resilience, whilst Nightline helped hone our communication. Environmental Studies taught us about improving our natural surroundings. At this moment, we are running around camp looking for clues to answer questions- hide and seek General Knowledge style.

In spite of tired legs and heavy eyes, our amazing bunch of campers just keep going.

Enjoy the pictures.

Good evening from a sunny and busy Broomlee Outdoor Centre. What a busy start to our P7 Camp. After an uneventful bus journey, we were welcomed by Dylan, our Supervising Tutor. Fire regulation talks then room organising (special mention to Michael and JJ who made their beds very quickly) was followed by our 1st Group Activity.  Group 1 were raft building and group 2 were high in the trees doing the Cat Walk. Lots of challenges and working together but we were resilient and helped each other succeed. The Raft Group 1 built was christened ‘The SS Mary’. She didn’t sink- this time!

Lunch and dinner was a highlight for many of the pupils- no-one went hungry.

After dinner we competed in Broomlee Highland Games- where the girls won courtesy of their superior technique during the Tug Of War!

Having enjoyed supper of hot chocolate and biscuits, we are all having an extended play before bed and lights out. Lots of tired eyes! Enjoy the pictures below. Can you spot the Cats and the Sailors?
