One of the many perks of youth work – you get to head off on class trips and call it work 👀 Just back from a two-day residential at Jungle NI with a cracking group of young ones from East Belfast – and it didn’t disappoint!
We squeezed in three activities, but this one was the winner by a mile. Now, imagine a 41-year-old bald man throwing himself around a water park assault course like he’s still in his teens… absolute scene. I looked like a burst couch flying through the air but sure, the craic was ninety 😂
Don’t get me wrong – the knees are in bits and I’ve no dignity left, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Getting paid to have this much fun with young people you care about? Can’t beat it!
