We spent our week in the totally awesome setting of Castle Saunderson. We scaled new heights, rock climbing on the chimney and stacking up to 21 milk crates. We explored the surroundings orienteering – getting lost and then found again!
We built rafts as well as canoeing on the river.
We slept in tents, Adirondack shelters and our shelters we made ourselves in the woods. We cooked on fires, gas, ordered pizza and dined out in Cavan town as part of our Treasure hunt…..and loads more activities.
It was an unforgettable week where we all learnt new skills, made new friends and had an amazing time!
