Outdoor Activities               home

In LCA you do a lot of outdoor activities, like hill walking. We went on a camping weekend to Carlingford adventure centre.  We left the school at about 4.30 and headed for the hostel.  When we got thier, we got our rooms.  As soon as everyone was settled in we all had to attend a meeting. The meeting took about a half hour and was basically about the activities and the rules of the hostel we also got split into teams and we were all given jobs. 

 It was brilliant, we went bivouacking in the forost for the night and we stayed up all night having a laugh.  We also went canoeing.  We did raft making aswell. 

 While we were down there we got to know each other alot better.  It was a great weekend and I would love to go again.  It was a great experience in that we had to work as a team in the tasks we had to do.  

It was like a survival course for the night.  We had to walk up the mountains to the forest, pick a spot to camp and pitch a site.  All we had for the night was a few big plastic bags and a sleeping bag each, no tent.  During the night we ended up cutting up the bags and tying them to tree to make a tent.  It was a great trip, we all got to know each other a lot better.  I would recommend it to anyone.

We also went Bowling for P.E. and to the laser dome.  It was a big difference from playing football in school.  It was a good laugh.
