6 Day Environmental Adventure Day 5 & 6
Claire Coombe
Day 5 of camp began with delicious fresh waffles straight off the iron served with fresh strawberries and maple syrup. While adventurers were enjoying breakfast, Tree and Pema arrived to set up a static trapeze rig, ready to teach the group some aerial performance moves. Half the group also headed out on the river for a paddle.
After lunch we packed an overnight bag and headed deep into the woods for a Wild Wood Sleepout. Charlie showed the group how to rig a tarp and off they went in small groups to create a shelter for the night. Dinner was a campfire cookout of spaghetti bolognese followed by s'mores. A talent show provided the evening's entertainment and just as we headed off to bed the heavens opened and gave us the chance to test out the shelters. Luckily everyone had made a good job of it and no-one got wet! Breakfast was cooked up on the campfire before heading back to camp for some final packing and the annual Awards Ceremony.
