Thank you to all the young people who joined us at last weekend’s pre-event! We hope they all had fun, made some new friends, and are just as excited as we are for the trip to Kandersteg, next year.
Choices – in case you didn’t catch the message, the activity groups they were in last weekend aren’t the activity groups they will be in on the trip. We’ve just sent Tom a link to a specific part of the Registration Portal, so they can provide us with their preferences for who they want to share a tent with and be in an activity group with. The link is also at the bottom of this email, so you can help them fill it out if they ask.
Walking – on Saturday afternoon, we went for a short hike (about 5km), and it was apparent that some members of the contingent struggled with this! Although the weather has started turning, and the days are getting shorter, it might be worth young people getting out and about to help them pick up their pace, and increase their stamina. When we’re in Switzerland, there’ll be a fair bit of walking each day, from walks around the campsite, down to the village, out and about on day trips, and on any hikes that we build into the programme.
Kit list – we shared a kit list with you ahead of pre-event 1, and you’ll have seen that we left space for suggested items. We’re working on adding the suggested items, and will be sharing an update to this soon.
Payments – heads up! The next payment for young people on the standard payment plan is due at the end of October - we'll send another reminder, nearer the time.
Let us know if you have any concerns, or if we can support our young people more with more information.
Many thanks,
The Kandersteg ’24 Team |
