Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As some of you may know, I am working at Rock UK and will be for the next 2 years. I'm currently over halfway through my 3 months of intense training and coaching to prepare and qualify me for working in the outdoor activity world.
Rock UK are a Christian organisation who are "Christians passionate about developing young people, bringing adventure into learning and using the outdoors to transform lives." (www.rockuk.org). They run four activity centres around the UK, I am in the Whithaugh Park centre in the Scottish Borders for the 12 weeks intensive training, then after I will be based in Carroty Wood centre in Kent for the remaining 2 years of the programme, working as a full time instructor.
There are fifteen people on the Instructor Training Programme in total, we all live on site in 3 lodges, and cook and eat dinner together every evening. A week consists of 3 activity days, 2 classroom days and an optional Saturday trip. On activity days we do things such as canoeing, kayaking, climbing, and ropes training, and on classroom days we have been working through discipleship and worship and how to work with and understand kids/teenagers.
Everything we do is already paid for so we're asked to raise £3,000 each year, so we can give back to Rock UK for being so fabulous.
