Bewl Water July 2025
We have had another jam-packed, adventure-filled day creating many memories in a variety of environments: in the air (climbing), in the forest (axe throwing) and in the water (giant suping).
Despite the extreme heat, the children have coped incredibly well, keeping really cool and staying hydrated.
Emilia said her favourite part of the day was when we raced each other in the speed boats to get to our suping location across the lake. Those who travelled with Captain Steve managed to do some plaining (skimming above the water)! Frank said his most memorable part of the day has been axe throwing and hitting the target. Rowan enjoyed the wall climbing because they all had jobs to do and had to rely on each other to succeed. Isaac says that he enjoyed going to the deep part of the lake and jumping in off the paddle boards - we couldn't get Isaac out!
We have just eaten another delicious dinner, cooked by Theodora, and are on our way over to the park for some evening free time.
Later on, we are going to have a residential disco to celebrate our final evening as well as another sweet fest and fun in the games room.
We are all loving it and are looking forward to some archery and bushcraft tomorrow.
Elm Class 2025
Our first evening at Bewl Water is well under way after a delicious dinner of spaghetti bolognaise and homemade banoffee pie. We have lots of happy and excitable children.
We arrived at Bewl Water just in time for lunch, but before that we unpacked and settled into our rooms. The children did a grand job of making their own beds (parents please note!).
Once we had devoured our lunch, we went straight down to the reservoir and got kitted out for canoeing. The children shared 6 to a canoe and after a quick lesson, were out on the water. They successfully paddled to the middle, where they played some games and no one fell in! They then paddled to a small beach and took no time at all to jump in and swim. I think the water was a cooling relief.
We are currently chilling back at our accommodation and the children are about to dive into their sweeties!
Fingers crossed for a good night sleep before our very busy day tomorrow of giant suping and climbing walk, followed by archery.
