Youth of Tir Conaill go on an adventure...

 

Friday 8th of February 2019 marked the 9th year Tir Conaill Harps GAC has taken the youth Hurlers and footballers  for an educational and fun packed activity weekend at Loch Eil, Outward Bound Scotland. 

On the Friday both groups received a warm welcome. 

The group took part in the famous jog and dip activity which has marked the beginning of every course over the past nine years. Everyone enjoyed the experience even though weather wasn’t ideal! 

In the evening the group built on their relationships by playing team challenges, showing how well they work as one group.

Saturday saw the group in their element, with the young players completing crate stacks which saw them be able to stand on top of 17 crates! Yes 17! They also climbed Glen Nevis to do some scrambling, which involved lots of climbing. They also built a fire where they made their own bread from dough and flour. At night they further demonstrated their excellent team working skills by completing activities to help each other over a climbing wall and also completing a spiders web.

Sunday, which was sadly also their last day, saw the team complete a canoeing adventure as well as jumping off the jetty to show they are leaping into the future as better people and as happy people too!

Overall, the young players from all the sections of Tir Conaill had a wonderful time as one club and hope to work together as one again in the future with their new friends. The club would like to thank Outward Bound for their wonderful hospitality and especially their instructors Craig and James who went above and beyond to help make a great weekend a brilliant one! We hope to go back next year!!!
