The Last Resort ~ Just A Few Thoughts...

I just spent a week with Grade 9s from KISC at 'The Last Resort' - an adventure camp about 4 hours out from Kathmandu.

We set out early on Monday morning, and after arriving at the Resort, we found our tents and began team building games. The guys leading our camp group were amazing at keeping the kids engaged and challenging them to stretch themselves and work better at communication and teamwork.

That afternoon, we walked to the centre of the bridge and we all had 3 goes at absailing down it - the first time the camp guys lowered us down, the 2nd time we lowered ourselves and the 3rd time we raced to see how fast we could go.

Day 2, after a fantastic breakfast (how many other camps cook you omlettes in the morning!) we split up into 2 groups and headed out on a long hike. Most of the way up the mountain required lots and lots of stairs so we'd walk for 5 minutes, then take a 10 minute break. It was very exciting, after 3 hours of walking, to make it up the mountain. After lunch, we headed back down and were totally stuffed so we just hung out and played cards for the rest of the afternoon.

Our 3rd and final full day, we got into our swim suits and got ready for canyoning! I'd never even heard of canyoning before, but it's where you absail through waterfalls - AWESOME!!! It was SO much fun and totally new for me which is why I think I loved it so much!

That afternoon, we headed for the high ropes course and spent the rest of the day doing obstacles between the trees.

In the evening, we were in for a treat. After a delicious dinner, some of the resort staff did fire dancing, and after that, there was live music by some other resort staff! Good times with some fun dancing!

Our last morning at the resort, before breakfast, we all had a go at 'horizontal bungy' which made us all really work up an appetite as it was hard work!!
