• ‘Swimming was the best, I’ve never been swimming before I even put my face under the water!’ -  SYP Young Person
  
  
• ‘I didn’t think we could do kayaking in a pool, I was scared of capsizing but I managed to do it after watching my friends do it. I liked playing kayak polo in the pool’ -  SYP Young Person
  
  
• One child recently (within a week) had a bereavement of a close family member; teachers didn’t think she would attend the weekend residential. On a high ropes session she said she wouldn’t do it. With some hesitation and encouragement she tried. Higher up the course she said loudly, with a massive smile ‘I can do this!!’ she completed the course and received a roar of cheer from her peers.
