Yesterday was our annual Day of Prayer; 🙏 spending time away from our busy daily tasks and praying as a team, for the centre and those involved in every part of it. We ended the day with a prayer walk and of course the incredible view from Cripdon rock! 😉 🙂

This week was full of farewells as we not only said goodbye to 3 members of staff, but we waved goodbye to our last school group of the season! 🚌 A BIG thank you to Jenny, Stew and Pete 👏 The team will miss you 😢 but we wish you all the best xxx #dartmoor #residentials

Each year we look forward to seeing our woodland floors covered in bluebells. This glade is near our Big Tree Climb, and take it from us, the smell is incredible! 🙃 Did you know that almost half of the world's bluebells grow in the UK? 🇬🇧 #bluebells #spring #woodland #dartmoor

It's World Art Day today, celebrating how art can unite and connect us. A young pupil from a school who recently came on their residential here, sent us this fabulous flower creation along with a handwritten note saying how much fun they had on their trip ☺️ #worldartday

One positive thing about all the rain we've had in Devon is that the rivers have been nice and high; great conditions for a canoe trip! Check out this lovely bunch of people... 🛶 💦 #canoeing #devon #paddlesport #canoetraining #lovetheoutdoors

Our outdoor team took to the wintry moors this month to practise navigation and do a recce on some possible abseil locations. There's usually lots of pointing into the distance, tea drinking and friendly banter, but definitely time well spent!! ☺️ #dartmoor #lovetheoutdoors

The admin team had a thoroughly productive and refreshing day yesterday, moving our meetings off-site due to the planned power cut. A walk up to Haytor Quarry to blow away the cobwebs was followed by plenty of steaming coffee! 🥾 ☕ #dartmoor #adminteam #team
