Sealyham 2016 - Day 6

Friday saw the final day of activities for our Sealyham adventurers. Group 1 had to put team work into action as they built rafts to compete in a race across a lake. One team reigned victorious as the other team spent most of the race in the water, swimming after floating barrels! Groups 2 and 3 headed into the woods to learn the art of bushcraft: making fire, building shelters and identifying how nature can help in survival were just a few of the tasks completed. Group 4 headed to the beach for their turn to surf the waves and, with the sun making another welcomed appearance, a wonderful time was had by all.

In the afternoon, group 1 stepped into harnesses as they took on the high ropes course while group 2 headed to the water for a much enjoyed coasteering session. Group 3 donned their wetsuits for the final time for their chance to ride the galloping white horses of Newgale Beach. Group 4 however remained on dry land at the archery range perfecting the art of firing arrows.

To conclude the week, all our children were presented with certificates to acknowledge and celebrate their achievements; the instructors were so impressed with how all of our outstanding pupils had thrown themselves into every activity, conquered fears and supported each other. As the moon smiled down on us for the final night in the Sealyham mansion, everyone partied at the disco and celebrated the end of a fantastic week. A week to remember forever.
