It gave a range of wonderful activities that allowed more than 40 young people to be exposed to the unknown and overcome a range of fears – ensuring that all elements of their being were tested and supported.
The TCYS Youth Work team, supported by a youth leadership team, spent a tireless week supporting young people to build new and existing relationships, create ongoing connections and have an experience in a safe and supportive environment.
The team also enabled older young people to take part in defensive driving, journaling, participate in the Love Tennis programme and basketball camps.
