When we went to Oaklands we learnt to trust ourselves and to build up our confidence. We did this by taking part in challenging activities. |
|
|
I
have done a lot more things than what I expected to do and I have achieved
a lot as well. (jade) Before
I came to |
 |
I’ve
learnt to try every situation that I have been faced with and not to give
up . |
Others
|
|
|
| We
have helped each other in a lot of ways and jay that is from sixth form
has helped us a lot and encouraged us a lot to try new and exciting
things. Mike doesn’t like heights but he eventually got over it when we
went through the mines. Lee has helped everyone in the group as well and
encouraged us to enjoy it and have fun. |
|
 |
We’ve
learnt to work as a group through out the week and we have learnt new
things about each other. |
Environment
| We saw a lot of wild animals which taught us to respect them and their habitat. | |
 |
The
environment is hard to get used to because of the cold weather and the
high walks through mountains but with the help of your friends you can
easily get through it. |
 |
We
have seen a different type of environment from what we are used to on the
Wirral , also found out about the slate mines. |
We also asked you what was the most rewarding part of your course...
| The best part of the course was working together and enjoying our time at Oaklands. |
| The
best bit of the Oakland’s course for most of the group was the mining
because it included a lot of the activates and when we got out of the mine
me all had a play around in the snow and came back to Oakland’s for a
nice hot dinner. |
| The
best part of this course was facing are fears through out different
activities and having fun with friends. |
And what you'd suggest to others visiting the Centre soon...
| This centre is interesting, fun and challenging. This is a good experience and well worth visiting. |
| That
they would have a great experience that is like a once in a life time
event to try things you might have never have done and might never do
again. And you will enjoy it a lot and you will get to know people a lot
better. |
|
I
would advise people who are planning a trip to |

What you've said...
Oaklands is amazing one of the best parts was reaching the top of siabod.
I also liked it in the slate mine when we walked on false floor, it would have been better if Dave brought the rope.
