On the 7th February, Space Youth Project were invited to Avon Tyrrell for an Adventures Away From Home funding project. It allowed 8 young people and 2 team members to attend a weekend residential full of amazing activities!
Charlie, one of the attendees said "the residential at Avon Tyrrell was an amazing experience. We slept in cozy wooden cabins and engaged in many activities: archery, climbing, high roles and kayaking to name a few. We were welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyed delicious cooked meals. Everyday was different and we were encouraged to have a go at the variety of activities on offer even if we had never done it before. The whole experience was amazing and we had so much fun, making memories and friends along the way."
Another young person, Steph, also had this to say about their experience at the residential. "We had a really wonderful time out in the forest. Getting to do activities that we don't usually have the opportunity to, like canoeing and archery, was amazing. It felt adventurous; I think we all gained some courage at one point or another, whether that was when meeting new people or standing on top of a wooden platform about to take a leap of faith into the air. It was such a privilege to explore the outdoors with some really great people. I didn't stop smiling and laughing all weekend."
We are incredibly grateful for this funding opportunity and our young people and team had a fantastic time on their adventure away from home!
