PLASTASTIC IDEAS TO TRY AT HOME
Plas Gwynant's 25 Home Challenges
The team at Plas have come up with 25 Home Challenges which will keep the adventures alive while you are at home.
If you'd rather have a black & white version you can find it HERE.
Part adventure, part creativity, there's something there for everyone! Don't forget to share your creations at #SRESatHome
Create a Time Capsule
Linked to the 25 Home Challenges, let’s create a time capsule of all the things you make, collect and do.
Put it in a safe place and set an opening date so you can look back on the things you achieved when the country went, well, a little bit strange.
Click the link and let Dan from Plas Gwynant show you how.
Wilderness at Home
Many of you that have been to Plas Gwynant have either completed the John Muir Award or seen our displays around the centre.
It's a brilliant programme that gets young people out in to wild places to discover and explore the great outdoors.
We've created a little John Muir recipe you can try to cook up a bit of "you time" and wilderness right there at home. Read more
