Thank you @anna-newkey - yes, some of are so surprised when they see a cow or sheep in a field and will be like "can we pass that on the footpath". So it takes a bit of training to get them to the experience level where they can walk and camp in the hills. But its all good for them to learn these things. It gives them courage and gives them a sense of achievement.

Shocking really, so detached from the real world.
It's lovely you're taking this on and that it helps you relieving some stress at the same time.. That's brilliant! 👍
Some of them don't have the money for venturing out of the city or parents that have any experience to go out into the countryside themselves. So its about giving the opportunity for young people to do things away from what they would normally do.
It can be a great way to break the inner-city routine and get them to talk about what is going on in their lives. You get to know someone quite well when away camping with them.
Wow, do you do this as part of an organisation? Or on own?
I mean, how to you find the children who need that little bit of guidance?
I'm totally amazed, that is so kind of you!
As part of an organisation. We ensure all adults are properly trained etc. Its a lot of fun.
👍😀
