Well done to the winners of this competition: Josh Neill, Sarah Wilmot and Emihle Wolfkop! Their bridge astonished everyone by holding an impressive 14 kilograms!
This camp went far beyond the excitement of building bridges; it provided an opportunity for the learners to explore, learn and bond together. In addition to gaining valuable knowledge, they formed new friendships that will undoubtedly continue to flourish.
