Native American Village

Thrills and Skills for Life continue to go from strength to strength. We have just run a Bushcraft and Country Skills course for St Augustine's Priory Girls School. We now have an Indian village in our training grounds in Dursley, Gloucstershire.

They sleep 7 adults and full kit or 10 children and full kit. They are warm and completely waterproof and very very spacey inside. We have five so we can accommodate 50 children in one go!

The girls made a totem pole, conducted lambing and sheep herding, Fire Bow use, lived off the land and built bridges all this and they prepared and roasted their own chicken on a spit! If we say it ourselves it was a huge success! take a look at the pictures.

Attending a Disabled Inclusion Course

We at Thrills and Skills For Life are 100 percent signed up to the everybody's welcome club. So Recently Chris attended the Disabled Inclusion Course run in County Durham. It covered all aspects of how to make games more inclusive for all people both with disabilities and those who do not have any. It was a clever course as it really did show you how you can run a series of sports games and ensure all people find it difficult and taxing. Its not too easy or too hard for anyone.

Sometimes this involves just changing the size of the ball or the shape! Basketball can have a different sized ball and a circle of 2 metres round certain players and you may find the game looks like any other but is totally inclusive!

Thrills and Skills for Life intend to ensure we cater wherever we can for disabled people and already work with different groups providing cycling for disabled groups throughout Durham, via NHS Get Active.
