Go wild

QE’s AS Sport and Leisure students challenged themselves by taking part in an outdoor activity day at Beamish Wild in County Durham.

Beamish Wild provides a range of activities to challenge students to overcome fears and anxieties and develop new skills. The students were involved in a range of team building and trust activities.

The purpose of the visit was to complete the outdoor activities element of the course, and saw the students completing an aerial ropes course and camp craft activities along with archery and a range of team work tasks.

Nancy Wall, Head of Leisure and Tourism, commented:

“Beamish is a superb facility, with staff providing a range of activities that truly challenge students. Often it is the students who you least expect who surprise you and excel at these kinds of activities.’
