After a hearty breakfast, our excited Hacton adventurers were delighted to see another beautiful, sunny morning. Group 1 faced their first challenge of the day: the pre water wetsuit challenge! They scrambled over rocks, made some impressive jumps and swam through the blue lagoon for a thrilling coasteering session. Taking to the waves, Group 2 mounted their surf boards and battled against the elements with many of them being able to stand on their boards like true professionals. Swinging through the trees, Group 3 took on the challenging high ropes course and did themselves proud with their positive attitude and determination to succeed.
Skimming stones, lighting fires, building shelters and filtering water were just a few of the life skills rehearsed in their afternoon session by Group 1 during bushcraft. From the ground to the tree tops, children in Group 2 climbed through the canopy taking on their fears. Heading to the water, Group 3 took to the boats to manoeuvre around the refreshing waters of the kayaking lake; a much needed cool down!
In the evening, all groups enjoyed a mud bath and successfully covered each other from head to toe in a thick, brown layer of dirt! After long showers and a good ear clean, children settled down a well deserved hot chocolate.
