"My favourite activities during the Delphi Trip in Galway were archery and kayaking. I also enjoyed pier jumping and high ropes, as the pier was cold and the high ropes were terrifying. I had vertigo but I was happy to have overcome them and completed them nonetheless. People fell and people crashed including me, but we all had loads of fun. It was a great trip and I don't think any of us will forget the Delphi Adventure Centre and all the exciting activities we did there." (Niall Garvey)
"I found Delphi amazing. I loved it. My favourite activity was probably pier jumping or the bog run when we got to throw bog at each other - that was fun! When we were kayaking we played a rock, paper, scissors game and I gave Ms. Finnegan a game. I won so she had to jump into the cold water which I found very funny!" (Edward Keogh)
"My favourite activity was going on the kayaking. When we went kayaking and we had to play rock, paper, scissors, whoever lost had to jump in. We also played where we had to walk on other people's kayaks!" (Daniel Eppel)
"The highlight of Delphi for me was the day of the bog run. We suited up in wetsuits and ran across a long bog. At some parts the bog was neck deep! At the end of the bog trail there was a huge pool of bog that we jumped into! After the bog we got hosed off and changed. I really enjoyed the bog run because it was a unique experience and I was able to do it with all of my friends." (Chad Greenblatt)
