Summer Challenges

Summer Challenges are usually week long experiences lasting about 25 hours. The challenges can vary from a series of different days based on a theme to a week long investigation into one area for example around the world in a week or a murder mystery week. Resource packs to support week long challenges can be downloaded from here

Case Study

The Legal Eagles' Summer Challenge enabled young people to develop their team work, problem solving and communication skills. At the same time they were given strategies to understand themselves as learners and to find out more about the legal profession. This Summer Challenge was supported by Wragge & Co. and some of its trainee solicitors.
