Lagganlia: 2012

Midge Attack

Midges are out in force!

Here at Lagganlia we have battened down the hatches and trying to take cover from the onslaught of beasties!

As we started to settle down for the evening we found several rooms had been left with lights on and windows open!! UH OH!!! many different ways have been developed for sneaking up and killing the midges that had taken up residence in the bedrooms.

Some of the children are clearly very tasty and no amount of midge repellent seems to keep them away! They are doing a fab job of not scratching but some of them may resemble dot to dots when they get home!

We have got lots more photos today but haven't managed to get them all up yet so please keep checking back for updates once were back!

We're all looking forward to coming home and seeing you all tomorrow!

Love from the Camp Team!

Yaseen says " Great Experience"

My Total experience at Lagganlia has been great!. The activity I did today was mountain climbing all day and on Wednesday we did cycling and gorge walking. It was great fun but I kept slipping on the rocks. I also did abseiling and it was hard because the rocks were not easy to grip but it was a great experience overall.

Abseiling!

Kieran says "Hello!"

I have had a great time here at Lagganlia! Lagganlia has amazing scenery, the wilderness is a wicked place to spend a week in. I even saw a red squirrel!!! During my adventures this week I have taken some amazing photos. My most amazing adventure was wghen we got to climb up a fast flowing waterfall during our gorge walk. I didn't like the millions of annoying midgies though. I can't wait to get home to tell everyone about what I did this week!

William says "Awesome!"

I have had a fantastic time at Lagganlia this week! My favourite part of the camp was when I went on the cycling ramp and used the mountain bike to do jumps. It was challenging, but I feel proud of myself for doing it. I did not like the midges, they were everywhere this week! I also didn't like going under the freezing water on the gorge walk. I give the entire week a 8 1/2 out of 10! Home tomorrow!!! Love you Mum.

Katelyn says "Hi!"

Today I have been cycling and I climbed the climbing tree. I have been doing a lot of interesting things, like gorge walking. I went gorge walking on Tuesday and that was the BEST. My favourite bit was sliding down the waterfalls. I have really enjoyed camp.

Thomas says "Wow!"

I have really enjoyed myself this week at Lagganlia. I have done gorge walking, abseiling and many other activities. My favourite activity was the gorge walking because of the fabby waterslides. Orienteering was also awesome because myself and my partner, Luke, won the competition.

See you soon,

Thomas

Chelsea says "I like Lagganlia!"

I have really enjoyed being at Lagganlia because we have done a lot of activities but my favourite was canoeing because it was the most fun. On the canoe trip we also got to go to the beach. I have really enjoyed my time here but I am looking forward to going home.

Jessica Lloyd says "SPLASH"

SPLASH! I dive bombed into the gorge and went under the water. I really enjoyed gorge walking and all the other activities, especially canoeing. I was looking forward to doing canoeing the most.

Eva says "I have had a lot of fun!"

I had lots of fun at camp. The best thing we did was definitely the night-line, where we followed a piece of string while wearing blindfold goggles. The canoeing was challenging, but really cool. The gorge walk was really cold, but the water slides created by the waterfalls were wonderful. The bike ride was tough but also rewarding. Camp was amazing.

Wiktoria Says "Lagganlia is the coolest!"

I have had a cool time at Lagganlia this week. The activities were so fun and challenging. My favourite activity was the climbing tree. I got all the way to the top and I rang the bell! I then made up a song to help Mrs. Sutton get to the top. The song was called 'Ring the Bell'.

Erica Says "The terrific camp"

Today me and my group of friends went gorge walking, it was cold! During the gorge walk I mostly enjoyed jumping into the river. The hardest thing was when I couldn't see where I was going because the water was too fast. I cannot wait for the next adventure, we are going to be doing hill climbing!

Mark says "I can cycle!!!"

We went on a bike ride today. I went on the tandem with Mrs Sutton. We went REALLY fast down the hills but when we went up the hills it was really slow. I helped to get us to the top of the hills with my excellent pedalling. We had our snack in the bothy at the top of the hill and after that we came back down to Lagganlia and did some skills on the bike course.
After lunch Angus did a lesson with me on the bike to try to help me to cycle by myself and guess what???? I can ride my bike now!!! Woooohoooo.
After that I got my equipment on to climb the big tree. Lauryn got all the way to the top and rang the bell. Ding ding! Then we went to the gift shop and I bought a lizard and a ball. Pizza for tea. Yum yum!!
