Last activities over and more experiences to tell you when kids come home. They have loved it!
Lunch over and children now chilling on grass or having last run around in the enormous grounds while we wait for bus to arrive. Will let you know when we’re on our way.
See you soon! Expect tired but happy children and loads of washing!
Mrs Berry did the high ropes! Proof and pics of this brave lady will be posted next week!

We were so lucky yesterday with the hot weather. Today a bit drizzly but it hasn’t dampened our spirits. Having such a good time, we don’t want it to end.
After such an active day children were really exhausted and so after lights out at 10:15pm the camp fell silent. Zonked!
This morning’s breakfast disappeared quickly! Many positive comments from the pupils on the great food which is always served with a cheery smile by camp staff.
Today’s last activities are wall climb and zip wire. Then lunch and home!
It was a very busy full on, action-packed day with many more challenging and fun activities. Fencing, blind trail, high ropes, abseiling and team games are just a few. Parents and carers, you will be as proud as Mrs Berry and I when you hear of the children’s incredible achievements! Many conquered their fears in jaw- dropping, astounding and daring tasks. Totally fearless! Great fun to do and watch.
Many of the activities required the children to work together in teams to successfully complete a task. Everyone managed so well in their activity groups to support and cheer each other on.
Well done Elphinstone P6/7 for your fantastic manners and behaviour throughout this camp trip. You’ve been brilliant!
The camp staff have been superb with the children. Their good humour and boundless enthusiasm really shone through and helped make these days so positive, and the activities very entertaining! We can’t praise them enough.
More pupil comments to follow.
Hello parents! Just to let you know that only one of us can access website. Internet connection is intermittent and causing problems. Mrs Berry and I are split between groups and only one camera working now. Posting where and when we can. Sorry for wee errors. Not easy to see what I type in bright light! Wonderful weather here!
