Dates: 16th – 18th August 2024
Take a look at some of the highlights from our first ever two night Summer Blast residential!
Of course, a CHT residential couldn’t happen without our medical team. This year we were joined by Dr Scott, as well as nurses Sarah, Rebecca and Lynda.
Our young people headed down to the Carrowmena Activity Centre on Friday night which was filled with lots of fun, laughter, pizza and lots of pot noodles! There were some familiar faces and some new ones, so all of our young people got to know each other again.
It was an early start on Saturday. Our young people enjoyed a yummy breakfast before an action packed day. This started with a ‘Mental Wealth’ workshop with Joe from TAMHI (Tackling Awareness of Mental Health Issues) where they learned about their mental health through fun and practical activities indoor and outdoor activities and games.
After this, our young people fuelled up on lunch for an adventure filled afternoon of rock climbing, zip-lining and archery, see for yourselves!
It was them time to tuck into yummy burgers and chips for dinners before a music filled night with The Gathering Drum. I’d say we’re a very musical bunch?
As bedtime rolled around, our young people settled down with a movie night and some snacks before getting some much needed sleep!
Finally, it was check out time on Sunday. That being said, the fun didn’t stop here. Our young people took part in hover crafting and football golf. It was so much fun!
A great weekend was had by all and we’d like to thank all our young people for being their amazing selves and also our medical team who we couldn’t have done it without.
