Activities he enjoys include walking, going to the beach, visiting the park, swimming and bouncing on the trampoline. Recently, Blake developed an interest in climbing and often attends Latitude with his peers and support staff during Short Breaks. This high intensity activity is now a routine exercise for Blake while staying at Short Breaks, and his determination and enthusiasm inspires his peers. Through regular outings to practice his climbing skills, Blake has learnt the ropes, completing the indoor climbing apparatus with confidence. He has even made his way to the top of the climbing wall in record time, earning him the title “ King of the Castle ”.
