OutZone
residential weekend for young men under 26 |
Matlock, Derbyshire - Friday 18th July - Sunday 20th July
2003
|
|
| The
weekend focused on: |
| Boosting
self-esteem & confidence |
Learning
(and practicing!) tips and tricks to keep us happy and
feeling good about ourselves! |
| Understanding
ourselves |
Finding
out what our talents really are and thinking about how
we want to be. |
| Assertiveness |
Getting
what we want - when we want it - whilst keeping ur cool!
(Well, most of the time anyway!) |
| Having
fun! |
Just
ask anyone who's been before... |
| "The
weekend was brilliant, so thank you for your (enthusiastic!)
participation." |
|
| Terms
of participation: Places on OutZone residential weekends
are usually allocated on a first come first served basis,
with priority given to those who haven't been before. The

and certain conditions apply. PACE Youthwork Staff reserve

OutZone residential weekend for young men under 26 |
Matlock, Derbyshire - Friday 30th Aug - Sunday 1st Sept 2002

"We're back..." 
And we had a fabulous time. No, I mean, we had a REALLY FABULOUS TIME! Just ask anyone who went...even Big D - though he is still having nightmares about chocolate chip cookies! You boyz are soooo naughty! (But it's no more than he deserved! - and he knows it!)
But seriously, I have received nothing but positive feedback about the weekend from both staff and those of you that came away with us. I have had time to read and digest your evaluation forms and I am confident a MASSIVE amount of 'learning' went on during our 'all too short' weekend together. You should all be very proud of yourselves for making the weekend such a special experience. I won't 'gush on' too much about it here...you'll have to come along to the group and/or look out for the photos during the next couple of weeks. Once again, Thanx 4 a fab time boyz... A..xxx

group members together into an informative and enjoyable
environment” |

should have been longer” |

weekend. I spent 10 years wishing I was straight,
but if I was I never would have met all these wonderful
people” |

learned how to use my initiative, to be more independent
and not to judge" |

don’t want to go to work tomorrow!” |
