CRATE FUN FROM RAFT OF ACTIVITIES

For the ‘S6 residential’ this year we went to Abernethy Barcaple near Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway, writes Drummond CHS pupil Greg Howitt.

It was an eventful three days filled with team building, laughter and some interesting meals. From pizza and pasta to hot chocolate and some delicious biscuits, reactions were mixed. Even a surprise cake for Ali's seventeenth birthday was provided.

It wasn't always so mild and relaxed as competition soon became fierce once activities began.

On the crate climb, Jamie and Aadam had an admirable score of 13, but they were knocked off top place by Josh and Shaun with a camp record of 14 crates. 

I think we would all agree that raft building was one of the best activities. We had to work as a team to build a raft and race the other team around the lake.

Even the teachers got involved in the camp spirit and had table tennis battles in the games room. Not only did we all have a great time, but we all came away with a Leadership and Teamworking through Adventure award.

All in all it was an enjoyable three days which left us as a much closer year group.
