Day 2 morning

We've had a very busy morning climbing and exploring the forest.

First we had our forest experience of rope climbing where we found out just how strong the children are. This is good preparation for the high ropes tomorrow.

On the forest walk we took part in a treasure hunt. The children had to collect items on a list and put them in a yoghurt pot. The instructor managed to convince the children that there are cougars in the forest that they need to hide from (but we won't tell them the truth yet!) Unfortunately, when they 'spotted' a cougar the yoghurt pots went flying as they ran away.

This afternoon we are learning survival skills and competing in an orienteering competition after a well deserved lunch
