Daily Updates

Updates on the children's progress will be updated daily and a link given to a Google Photos album for each day of the trip. Please note that photos will be uploaded periodically throughout the day by staff when they are not engaged in looking after the children. This will be during the day when staff have phone signal or after 6pm when they have returned to CRS Adventures and have a good WiFi signal. 

DAY 1 Monday 19th May 2025 - After departing at around 7.45am, the coach arrived at the River Dart at 1.15pm after a brief stop at the services en route. It was a successful coach journey with Inside Out 2 being screened on the way there!

On arrival, the children had lunch and were taken to their dorms, which some have described as luxury! Our first activity was a Round Robin involving: climbing up slides, low ropes, netting and getting wet in the lake. As we sit down to dinner, all are hungry and happy. Can’t wait for the Olympics later!

DAY 2 Tuesday 20th May 2025After a good mini Olympics, most children got a reasonably good night’s sleep and enjoyed the full English breakfast in the morning. Groups 1 and 2 were kayaking and canoeing in the morning, enjoying the lake and the cute goslings. Groups 3 and 4 pushed themselves out of their comfort zones and did really well on the high ropes. After pizza and salad for lunch, Groups 1 and 2 whizzed down the zip wire while Groups 3 and 4 took to the water for their canoe and kayak session. Looking forward to the climbing wall tonight.

DAY 3 Wednesday 21st May 2025 - It has been a day of long walks, Mongolian earthworms and climbing. It has rained. It has stopped. The children have risen to the challenges given to them, whether it be steep hills or just the next level on the climbing cliff. Being in nature has thrown out all sorts of new experiences, such as: walking through a field of cows, finding the best walking stick and being a koala!
