Family Fun Day (30th of March, 2016)

21 Apr, 2016by fiveriversadminFamily Day, Family Fun Day, Munster, Ballyhass Lakes

Over 55 foster children, their friends, foster carers and foster siblings took park in kayaking, ziplines, abseiling and high wire obstacle courses. Fair play to many who repeatedly scaled the climbing pole to take the leap of faith and catch the pull up bar! Some achievement at 40 feet in the air! Great credit is due to families who travelled from as far as South and West Cork, Clare and Waterford.
