'Do it 4 Real' summer camps go for gold
September 2005
Consult by Design delivered two highly successful summer camps for the Youth Hostel Association as part of their Do it 4 Real programme.
The two Olympic themed camps were delivered at Ravenstor Youth Hostel, near Buxton and Langdale in the Lake District.
Both camps were a huge success with the children participating in a variety of Olympic sports from football to volley ball and judo to kayaking.
Each week included a variety of workshops on the Olympics, which included sessions on ethics and the history of the modern Olympic movement. Arts and crafts also played a part, with the children making flags and banners which they paraded at the awards ceremony which was the culmination of each week.
An Olympic athlete was present at each of these award ceremonies. These included former javelin world-record holder and Olympic silver medallist Steve Backley.
'Do it 4 Real' is back in 2006 so check out their website for further details in due course.
