5th Year Carlingford

After an early start yesterday morning, 5th Years arrived in Carlingford full of excitement and enthusiasm. They immersed themselves wholeheartedly into the various activities available to them. One group completed high intensity laser combat in the forest, followed by kayaking across the lake under beautiful weather conditions. The other groups spent the day wall climbing, spinning around in the Gyro, followed by a trip to the Skypark where they channeled their inner spiderwoman Ziplining and climbing up the high ropes! They had a quick change before getting ready for dinner and preparing for the evening campfire. They toasted their s’mores and had a sing song all together. The outdoors proved tiring and all slept well! Students will make the most of the last day in the glorious sunshine tomorrow and will bid farewell to Carlingford at approx 5pm. We hope to return to OLS at 7pm approximately.
