Day 3: Hitting the River

The last day with British school is here, everyone is in a good mood however as today is the day of the white water rafting!

We started early again, approximately 7 o'clock, with a morning jog up to our relay square and after a warm up and a few morning stretches the five teams swiftly got ready to go head to head. The race happened fast, everyone ran there hardest and it was so close. After much discussion it appeared "Black Jaguars" came out on top!

Breakfast was a quick affair as all the kids, and the adults, were excited for the day, then tent inspections where all teams were much improved from the previous day.

After the tent inspections we split the incredible excitable children into two groups, one group stayed with Nirmal and Gwen where they took part in the Crate Stacking Challenge - a ropes activity which some of the kids really excelled at with a impressive 11 crates stacked up being the record. 

The second group got kitted into a life jacket and helmet then paired with a paddle before jumping in the trucks and a quick walk to the bridge site where the rafting would commence. Since rafting is a dangerous 

sport a safety brief was essential and all the kids did their best to listen whilst itching to get on the water. 

Then it started, the children in the rafts and 3 big rapids ahead of them! The boats smashed down drops and hit waves hard. Lots of screaming happened as everyone was enjoying themselves! After the rapids were done all the children and guides had a gentle float back to camp to cool off.

With the morning activities finished all that was left was to have some lunch and say goodbye. It was a sad affair with many hugs and high fives but we believe they left with a difference; as leaders, team players and with added confidence.

Good Bye Year 6 - thanks for sharing the Adventure with us!
