Duke of Edinburgh Trip Highlights

  • Most of our Unbelievably Lively (UL) learners took a whimsical journey to Chiang Mai, where for four laughter-filled days, they redefined 'pushing the envelope.'
  • Picture this: a bunch of eager beavers scaling walls and swinging through trees like amateur Tarzans on high ropes and rock climbing escapades.
  • They turned into Robin Hoods-in-training with archery and tackled confidence courses that had them questioning their life choices.
                                  But wait, there's more! 
  • They embarked on an overnight camping saga straight out of a comedy show.
  • Imagine hauling themselves and their gear (which felt like a million kilos, give or take) to the highest campsite in Thailand - a feat that left many wondering if they accidentally signed up for a weightlifting competition.
  • And as if that wasn't enough, the next morning, in a plot twist worthy of a blockbuster, they summited the peak.
  • Rumor has it, that they're still debating whether it was a mountain or a molehill!
