After a long journey, we arrived safely at the Pioneer Centre. Everyone is currently settling in and will be jumping into their first activity shortly.

We have settled in and done our first activities. We have done a high wire course, wall climbing, leap of faith and some of us had fencing, which we all thoroughly enjoyed and are all feeling proud of our achievements. We will have dinner soon and then onto the next activity, campfire!
