Adventure Team-Building with My New Middle School

We survived the first obstacle course!

Our middle school students and teachers recently spent 4 days out in the bush at an adventure team-building camp. We crawled through muddy obstacle courses, learned to cook eggs by burying them in the ground, practiced rescue skills like building rafts and making stretchers with minimal resources, and "stalked the lantern" by crawling silently through the bush at night, looking for the single lantern acting as a beacon for the teams.

It was so much fun, not to mention dirty and exhausting and bug-ridden and hot. I was cleaning dirt out of my ears for at least 3 days after I returned!
