Sailing fundraising

The Doon Academy Ocean Youth Trust Group has begun fundraising for their next trip. They are hoping to take 12 pupils sailing next June from Oban out round the islands. The trip will be open to any pupils from S3 upward who is keen to get involved with the fundraising and preparations. Previous trips have been very successful even if the weather hasn't been that good. Pupils gain a great sense of achievement from overcoming obstacles such as seasickness. They achieve success at sea from steering the boat, cooking for 18 people, hauling up the sails and tacking the boat. Their personal growth stands them in good stead when they return to school. The group are hoping that people will support their fundraising efforts.
