If there's one thing that connects us all in Wales, it's our collective memory of time spent at the Urdd's Llangrannog centre.
From the dry ski slope and toboggans to the black nun, the Llangrannog experience in Ceredigion has become a Welsh rite of passage.
Whether you were there as a pupil, a swog, or teacher, you'd definitely have gathered some hilarious memories by the end of your stay.
However, a lot has changed since it was founded in 1932.
It started off as an Urdd summer camp, running for four weeks each summer, with boys and girls completely separated until 1938.
The Urdd Gobaith Cymru is a company and charity. It aims to give people the chance to develop their Welsh language through activities.
Llangrannog, as we know it today, took off in the late 1960s.
In 1967 after the Aberfan disaster , when 116 pupils from Pant Glas Primary School died, a number of parents and children were invited to Llangrannog for free. In return, they presented the centre with a trampoline.
Soon after, the Urdd paid £18,000 to expand its grounds. It began to open its doors throughout the year and employed its first paid members of staff.
By the end of the 1970s, a number of facilities had been built, including a large barn, swimming pool, shop and gym. The dry ski slope came in 1989.
Director of Llangrannog Urdd centre Lowri Jones has worked there for 15 years and has countless amazing memories, which make her feel proud to be Welsh.
She said: "It’s a privilege to be able to witness first-hand children growing in confidence and facing their fears here at Llangrannog.
"There are so many good memories. The autistic child who faced his fears and went around the high ropes course with all of his classmates encouraging and supporting from below.
"The paraplegic child who had her first experience on the ski slope.
"We will never forget her smile as she came down the slope in the sit ski.
"Recently we had a school from the Aberafon area, their pupils had us all in stiches. It makes you very proud to be Welsh."
Around 23,000 children visit Llangrannog each year and since it opened in 1932, about a million people have stayed there.
It offers a range of activities , such as horse riding, dry slope skiing, tobogganing, swimming, climbing, trampolining and more.
The term swog is short for the Welsh word "swyddog", which means officer. It describes the older pupils - usually sixth formers - who volunteer to help look after their younger schoolmates.
Ms Jones said this is a Llangrannog tradition still going strong, with hundreds helping out each year.
Ruth Cameron's 10-year-old son, Kayon Cameron from Cardiff was among Llangrannog's most recent visitors.
He went to the centre on the week beginning September 23 with his school, Ysgol Gymraeg Nant Caerau.
She said: "My son went there last week and it's the first time he has ever gone away so it was a big deal.
"I went about three times as a child and I absolutely loved it. I hadn't spent much time away from my parents before then."
When Miss Cameron's older brother went to the centre, he made local news after he allegedly saw the black nun in a dorm corridor, spooking his teachers and classmates.
"My brother had gone two years before me and I was looking out for the black nun when I was there in case I saw it," said Miss Cameron who is now 35.
"Before my son went, I had to tell him a story about my brother who went about 25 years ago and it was nice that he had a connection to Llangrannog."
The legend didn't seem to phase Kayon, though.
Miss Cameron said: "He really loved the high ropes and muddy adventure park because I couldn't get mad at him for getting dirty.
"He went with 12 outfits and came back with five, so he definitely had a good time."
Tracy Zerk, 37, from Penrhiwllan went to Llangrannog in 1994 as a year seven pupil at Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi. Then from 2005, she worked there for a decade as a cleaner and kitchen assistant.
She served breakfast and lunch to hundreds of children and cleaned rooms and bathrooms after the children and teachers left.
She said working at Llangrannog was "very busy" and that she made some true friends there.
Tracy believes the black nun rumour was started by a staff member who wanted to scare a colleague.
Chinese whispers meant the rumour escalated into a burden on Tracy and others who worked at the centre.
She said: "The worst part was scrubbing graffiti about the black nun off the wooden bunks, using sandpaper and scourers.
"We would get children crying or panicking about hearing stories of the black nun and how she roamed the corridors.
"Although, the black nun never existed."
According to Tracey, even the swogs would sometimes dress up as the black nun especially to scare the younger children.
However, this burden didn't stop her from having some fun of her own.
She added: "Me and a colleague found a nun costume while cleaning one day. So we decided to dress her in it and scare other members of staff.
"She would hide in a shower, with the curtain closed while I lured members of staff in. It was hilarious.
"No one expected it and lucky enough everyone saw the funny side of it. We were all like a big family."
Gabrielle Jones, 26, from Mountain Ash is a Welsh teacher at Pontypridd High School.
She experienced Llangrannog as a child, then as a swog in sixth form and now gets to take her own pupils there. She finds the centre as exciting now as she did then.
"I went to a Welsh school and went to Llangrannog in year four, five and six," said Miss Jones.
"I loved the disco - it was a big deal. I went in the early 00s and we covered ourselves in glitter.
"I remember having to spray glitter hairspray outside because it would set the fire alarms off indoors.
"We thought we looked absolutely fantastic, but when we got to the disco we wouldn't even dance.
You'll remember more than a few of these if you went to Llangrannog as a kid:
"When I was in sixth form, a squad of us went there as swogs with the year sevens.
"It was nice to see they were having a nice time and gave us some leadership."
Miss Jones said as a swog she got to do the activities with the year sevens. She recalled enjoying the taboggans, high ropes and quad bikes.
She said: "Now, I'm a teacher and I have taken three groups there so far. It has changed so much, but the experience is still the same."
Most importantly though, Miss Jones praised Llangrannog for encouraging children to enjoy the Welsh language.
She said this was mainly down to the friendly staff.
"As a Welsh teacher in an English speaking school, I am trying to raise the profile of Welsh being fun, and Llangrannog really helps that.
"Welsh is compulsory and some pupils find it difficult, but they love seeing the staff speaking Welsh there.
"I love it. I hope the momentum grows and people still go in years to come."
There are now plans to transform the Llangrannog centre's main hall, dining hall and kitchen in a £4 million investment. Building is hoped to begin this year.
The centre also started holding summer camps again this year, going back to its 1932 roots.
