Project Testimonials
How did I feel about the project before it started?
Excited!!! This was the first time we've organized full day experiences. We've been training and planning the project for quite a long time and also had some set backs concerning the scheduling of the groups, so, when the starting day came we were delighted to get it started.
What was a challenge?
Scheduling with schools. The school board changed and we had to organize it all over. Also, since we had to reschedule the activities, we ended up going live in November, typically a rainy month in Leiria/ Portugal; we had a few set backs with the weather conditions, but all went well.
What was your favourite part of the project?
Seeing the smiles on the childrens faces!
How will this project influence your outdoor adventures in the future?
Doing more of it and realising what is out there.
