StreetWise - LITE - April 2008
LITE on the Moor
The raft race got very competitive.
|
This January at the end of the last LITE course, eleven of us (six
students and five staff) went away for an excellent week to Heatree
Activity Centre, Dartmoor. Many of us had never been away on an adventure
like this, so it was a huge learning curve, from just having to get up in
the morning to sharing out cooking duties, engaging in physically demanding
activities as well as lots of laughter and a daily Christian meditation.
A silly game of Head Butt doesn't do much for their
street cred!

Mickey Mouse was my childhood hero.

Competing to pick up three doughnuts.
|
As you can see from the pictures, we started with some intellectual
activities to stimulate the brain and prepare for the rigorous challenges
that lay in store...
Why doesn't this boat go where I want it to?
|
But no one volunteered to put the apple on their head!
|
Don't know who was more nervous - the students or the staff!
|
The Climbing Tower was very challenging.
|
Round the table - 6 players but only 2 bats!
|
...there were lots of action and team building activities to test us all.
None more so than the race to build a raft and paddle to the other side of
the lake and back. The event got very competitive, as both teams attempted
to soak the other! Other activities included climbing and abseiling, canoeing,
archery, caving and low-adventure course.
