Welsh Camp 2025

On Sunday 22 June, our Year 8 students set off for an unforgettable five day challenge at Welsh Camp, situated in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

A huge thank you to Davies Adventure Holidays for running the camp so brilliantly. With years of experience, they provide enriching trips that offer students the chance to learn and grow in a fresh, outdoor setting. The focus of the camp is on building self-esteem, confidence, positive attitudes, and encouraging peer support, all through an exciting and challenging programme of activities.

Each activity is carefully designed to push students out of their comfort zones in a safe, supportive environment, led by highly trained and qualified staff. The students had a fantastic time, taking part in a wide range of experiences, from working in teams to build and race rafts across the lake, to developing their canoeing, caving and climbing skills. There was even time to show off their talents with a session of karaoke!

Miss. Buckley, said, 'I'm very proud of all of the students who were a pleasure to take away. They were a credit to Uplands. The leaders also commented on how polite and respectful they were too.'

This was truly a memorable week, full of personal growth, teamwork, and lots of fun!
