The Camp Chronicles - Blindfold Walk

By Ciara

One of the most peaceful activities was the blindfold walk. This experience was based on the soft sounds that surround us and also on blocking out our sight and using other senses especially sound. We all were blindfolded and followed a piece of string that was connected tree to tree and we entered the experience a bit stressed and unsure but after, we exited calm and slightly tired. The blindfold walk was set in a forest opposite the camp and we made our way around it slowly and calmly. Everyone was very careful not to bang into others or trees or to trip over something but the parents helped us make our way through by telling us when to bend down or swap sides. The silence made it feel like you were alone which was quite nice but also scary. We overall came out of the experience calm, tired and peaceful, and we can’t wait to do it again.
