It was an adventurous October at St Andrew’s, as we took 31 young people on a five-day residential at Hindleap Warren Outdoor Adventure Centre, in East Sussex. Young people enjoyed exciting challenge activities such as tree climbing, archery, axe throwing, abseiling, tower climbing, muddy obstacle courses and more.
Our annual adventure residential pushes young people out of their comfort zone, supporting their development, building their independence, and confidence to face their fears. The trip helps young people learn key skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, helping to build resilience and perseverance. It also provides a safe space to make friends and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with their friends.
“The trip boosted my confidence”
The annual trip to Hindleap Warren is a highlight of the year for the young people who attend. The Club was delighted to be able to provide this unique and exciting opportunity, that young people might otherwise have been deprived of.
