Y7 Trip to Skern

Skern was a trip filled with adventure, mystery and facing your fears. When we finally arrived we were full of excitement, nerves and more. We found out where our rooms were and I made so many more friends than I thought I would. We were split into activity groups where we headed off to go to high ropes, which was my favourite because I love climbing. The knowledge that I would just be dangling if I fell made it even better.

Finally, it was the evening. The sky was full of a dazzling array of colours like pink and red. Skern had one of the most phenomenal sunsets I had ever seen. During our evening walk, our instructor told us some fascinating facts about Skern’s history, like things to do with WW2. We took part in water activities like surfing, rafting pool Olympics; you would think it was cold but with all the excitement and games you couldn’t even notice. Skern was overall amazing and I would do it again!

I found Skern the most amazing trip I have ever been on. Our week was filled with millions of activities – there wasn’t one activity I would miss. My family wishes they had done the same trip! The food was amazing as were the instructors, accommodation and activities.

My absolute favourite activities were surfing, body boarding, high ropes and rafting. I enjoyed high ropes because there were so many activities to do in the air including ‘leap of faith’ where you climbed up a tall log then jumped to a trapeze where you could hang upside down.
When we got back on the coach at the end of the week we had all made new friends and were sad to be leaving Skern Lodge. If I had one wish I would use it to go to Skern all over again – it was an experience of a lifetime.
