Last night ended with a beautiful reflection around the camp fire as we celebrated the successes of the day - there was an awful lot to celebrate. From acts of kindness, to bravery and sheer determination; every child achieved something remarkable. I also think that this group of children were the best (in my many years of residential) to go to bed. All in bed by 10.30pm - and the majority asleep! A slightly early start but nothing too bad - clearly excited for he day ahead. Breakfast was a full English - oh how we have been spoilt before each group headed out again on adventures.

Mr Cornwell’s group started on the water in the canoes; rafted together and they were the best group I have ever had for canoeing; a great team!. After lunch, it was off on a wander and a scramble where we got a tad wet, before heading back to site for the leap of faith. Mrs Barker’s group kayaked this morning after their adventures in the canoes yesterday, then climbed Warton Crag this afternoon; seeing some breath-taking views from the top. Mr Nay’s group had a double water day with canoeing and kayaking - splashes all round and some very soggy children.

Tonight’s tea was again, utterly delicious - chicken fajita wraps with rice, followed by lemon cake and custard. The children are currently getting their bedrooms tidy, bags packed, showered and ready for tonight’s talent show. They will be setting off at lunch time tomorrow and we will make sure to send a text with their expected time back in school.

We hope you have enjoyed seeing the pictures and the fun they have had; I am absolutely sure that plenty of memories have been made. A huge thank you to the staff who have given up their time to take the children away - they are so very special!
