Year 6 trip to Fujairah The annual trip to North Star camp in Fujairah always begins with great trepidation... both by parents and by students. However, once that plane trip is over and everyone is on the bus‌ the fun begins! The purpose of the trip is team building. Through learning to work as a team each person learns to become a little more self-reliant and independent. Everyone faces a personal challenge completing the variety of activities offered by North Star Camp staff. Overcoming this challenge is a feeling of such satisfaction and is something that stays with everyone for a long time. To face a challenge and meet that challenge is quite an accomplishment. The activities offered include mountain biking, canoeing, swimming, raft building, snorkeling and a dhow trip. The wall climbing is for most, the ultimate challenge- not just going up; but abseiling down again. This daunting looking wall is invariably a highlight in achievement as everyone is successful. A bond develops amongst the children and between the children and the teachers which lasts the whole year!
