Residential experiences are hugely important for our children. Spending time away from the home environment gives children and young people opportunities to develop. At Mayfield we attend our regular Primary 7 camp experience at Benmore Residential Centre were the aim is to develop our pupils:
• confidence, by living more independently and making their own decisions
• resilience, by having individual and group ownership for learning, community living and sharing free time
• a sense of adventure, by exploring new places and new environments
• an appreciation of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through physical activity
• a chance to reflect on experiences and learning.
