Over four weeks this summer, we welcomed 144 young adventurers to Larch Hill for four weeks of outdoor adventure 🌲

From Climbing and Archery to Pond Dipping, Mini-Beast Safaris, Shelter Building and Backwoods, we delivered a fun, educational programme rooted in nature!

Along the way, we developed teamwork, communication, independence and a love for the outdoors, all while creating memories to last a lifetime! 😎
