Day 4 - Thursday 27th February
Giant Swing
Some of the best views of Perthshire can be seen from the top of the Dalguise site but we were going too fast to see them when we were on the giant swing! From the pictures, you can tell that some of us enjoyed it better than others. Each of us certainly pushed ourselves out of our comfort zones to tackle this activity.
Orienteering
We worked in teams to navigate our way around the site following an orienteering course today. We enjoyed the problem solving involved in being able to complete this task.
Vertical Challenge
Another challenge for us today was Vertical Challenge; a tall rope climb between two large trees. Each of us managed to climb higher than we thought we would be able to do.
Fencing
Those of us who didn't complete fencing on Tuesday, got to give it a try out today. it was interesting learning the different moves and getting a change to spar against our friends.
Survivor
For those of us who hadn't completed the survivor activity, we completed it today. Working as a team, we designed our own shelters and learned how to make fire.
Day 3 - Wednesday 26th February
Laser Tag
One our activities today was laser tag which we absolutely loved. We had to develop strategies to try to win for our team. Be aware though, this was a messy activity which we got thoroughly immersed in... there's a lot of dirty washing on its way home!
Abseiling
We had to face our fears and walk off the edge to abseil down a wall today. Whilst we were doing this, our friends were belaying for us on the ground. We are all getting confident at putting on our harnesses for activities and belaying to keep others safe.
Problem Solving
We completed problem solving activities today which involved going to different stations to work on solutions for each of the situations we faced. We had to work as a group, communicating and listening to each other to figure out the puzzles.
Trapeze
Trapeze involved climbing a tall pole and balancing on a tiny platform. Next we had to take a leap of faith off of the platform to hit a dangling ball.
Dalguise Life
In between activites we play games and activities. We get our food from the canteen for each of our meals and we are getting confident with the routines now.
Day 2 - Tuesday 25th February
Tree Climb
All of the groups tackled the tree climb today. Its a 70 foot climb up a ladder to the top of the tree. If you reach the top, you get to ring the bell. Each of us managed to get further up than we thought we would.
Jacob's Ladder
We all had a go at tackling Jacob's Ladder today, a hanging ladder that was a challenge to climb.
Sensory Trail
To complete the sensory trail we all relied on team work and trust as we were blind folded and had to navigate our way across the trail.
Fencing
Half of us had a go at fencing today, learning different moves required to compete against an apponent.
Survivor
The other half os us learned survivor skills, building a wind and rain proof shelter and learning to make our own camp fire.
Day 1 - Monday 24th February
Zip Wire
Today we all had the opportunity to complete the zip wire building our skills in overcoming our fears and trusting the equipment to support us on our journey down.
Challenge Course
Next we completed the challenge course. This involved climbing over and under obstacles and working as a team to support each other to all successfully complete the task.
Camp Fire
After tea we headed out in the dark for a campfire. It was great to toast marshmallows on the fire and have fun with all our friends.
