The purpose of the trip was primarily to give the children some bonding opportunities. We wanted some of our older students to form relationships and new friendships with the children that have started at BVIS this year.
We enjoyed watching students helping each other, trying out new skills, testing their fitness. They certainly all showed perseverance and care for each other!
