Hey everyone! 2016 has been such a wonderful year! Thanks for coming on so many programmes and for making my first year with Recreate so special and full of wonderful adventures. It has been great spending time with some regular Recreaters as well as meeting some new participants! TERM 1 2017 January, February, March, April We have had some pretty incredible programmes in the last term, and I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have! The Lake Lyndon camp was a goodie involving so many adventures; staying in the lodge overlooking the beautiful lake, the bush survival skills we learnt and exploring Castle Hill. The Pancake Rocks on our West Coast getaway was definitely one of my highlights! The High Tea in Oxford was our very first Girls Club event, and they will definitely be many more of those. I hope this year finishes off on a high note for you all and that you have a wonderful Christmas break and a very happy New Year!
