Summer
Camp
The residential
summer camp is the highlight of the yearly calendar for many
of the young people and staff at the Archway Project. Each year
the project camps out for three weeks at 'Tommy's Farm' in Wales.
The farm is over a thousand acres of hills, valleys, streams
and marsh land which is an off-road riders paradise. During
these three weeks we will have three different groups of young
people who will spend four days at a time on the camp site.
This provides the opportunity for young people to camp out,
ride off-road and share an exciting experience they will never
forget.
The camp
site is literally taken over by the Archway group and its team
of volunteers and young people. Our young people get the chance
to see parts of the countryside that are very much off the beaten
track, they also have the chance to ride their bikes from morning
till night if they so wish (and most of them do).
This is
Tommy and Liz who own the farm in Wales. They are good enough
to let us have the run of the place once a year and always look
forward seeing our young people set up camp. Nuff respect to
Tommy and Liz for their hospitality !!!
During
their stay on 'Tommy's Farm' the young people get to develop
the following skills:
Team
building and social skills;
Improved riding skills and abilities;
Better understanding of how bikes work and how to maintain
them;
Cooking
and looking after the needs of others in the group;
Meet
up with old friends, make new ones and interact with others
in a positive manner.
