In July thirty-two Warblington students and four members of staff went on an adventure of a lifetime in the south of France. They started off on the beautiful Ardeche River, where they spent three days canoeing and playing some amazing games in one of nature’s finest playgrounds. As well as canoeing the group descended down rapids without boats, making a natural waterslide. They took part in many rock jumps and caving adventures, ending in the final day being completed by a giant game of last man standing in a boat. As the last day ended on the river they got ready for the next part of this amazing journey, down to the sandy beaches on the Mediterranean.
The group arrived in glorious sunshine and took to the beach straight away. Along with sailing three kinds of boats, snorkelling, ocean rider, sit-on kayaks, wind surfing and raft building they also found time for a tiny bit of beach football and beach rugby - and maybe a little sunbathing.
When the last night approached and the final disco of the week was over, they sat and reflected on the week, students saying it was the “best trip ever†and staff agreeing. This was a wonderful week of team building and a life-long experience. The staff are already organising next trip in 2016.
