Girls Day

I thought the trip to Scaladale was great!  A well organised trip by the Lewis and Harris Youth Clubs Associations.  I think everyone enjoyed themselves because no one complained.  There was always something to do so it was never boring.  I made some new friends there so I think it was a good time to meet new people and the activities really helped me to get to know the people.  I hope I can stay in touch with the people I met there.  Some of the girls will also be in my class in the Nicolson so I'll probably catch up with them then.

I think Scaladale is a great centre, it is spacious, clean and it's near Loch Seaforth and the mountains so there is a whole range of activities you can do there.  The activities we did there were fun and we could make some of the stuff again at home.  I especially enjoyed making the smoothies because you could put whatever you liked in them and they tasted great in the end!  The sock puppet shows were really funny and gave us another chance to be creative.  The walk was very good but tiring, for me anyway!  It was a good bit of exercise after staying in all day though!  The treasure hunt made it more interesting while we walked, it was also also good at making us work as a team.

The actual night was good because the leaders let us stay up late, but not too late in case we were too tired for the activities the next day.  And it worked, none of us were too tired the next day so we were all happy enough doing the activities.

I do think that we should have done some of the chores though because I felt kind of guilty making a mess and leaving it to other people to clean up but apart from that it was a fantastic trip and I'd definitely recommend the trip to anyone!
