TWO teenagers are able to take part in a summer full of different outdoor activities thanks to a scholarship.
Alice Jones and Charlotte Kitchen, who are both year ten students at Norton's Red House School, have been awarded Adventure Scholarships thanks to the Outward Bound Trust Centre at Ullswater, Cumbria.
The girls have shown an interest for the outdoors, a willingness to be involved in voluntary activities and leadership situations, and they have also shown the ability to develop organisational skills.
The course is split into three weeks.
Week one mainly concerns outdoor activities, leadership and team work skills, where students will be able to take part in first aid and navigation training, gorge walking, raft construction, sailing and camp craft.
During week two they will learn rock climbing, canoeing, trapeze and orienteering.
The final week will include interviews and presentation of a diploma.
The scholarship covers half the cost of the course, with the other half met by the students themselves.
