“I didn’t think I could do the leap of faith on the high ropes, or the abseiling, but I completed both!” (Abdullah) “I really enjoyed the raft-building because we worked as a team. It felt satisfying when the raft started floating. The instructors were good; they pushed you to try to do everything but they didn’t force you to do anything you didn’t want to.” (Emils) “The most challenging activity was the climbing; although it was safe I felt scared but I tried my best and overcame my fear.” (Ibrahim) “I pushed myself and completed all of the challenges”. (Ash) “I loved the activities…my favourite was the fencing because it was a new experience. The staff made the stay enjoyable because they helped you conquer fears.” (Hayden) “I tried some new activities such as fencing, abseiling, zip-wiring, canoeing and raft-building. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget.”(Basel) WHITEMOOR LAKES 2019 The annual Year 7 trip to the Whitemoor Lakes Activity Centre near Alrewas took place in May.
