7.11, Day 1
So night one was interesting with the storms canceling our evening activities but everyone had some extra time to unpack and hang out with their friends that they had not seen in a year. Lots of laughing and smiling already which is great! Instead of completing an outdoor scavenger hunt (due to the rain) we had an indoor item race. Each house group competed to find a list of items that they brought to camp. Mary’s 8th graders won with having all 10 items between them. Way to go girls you seem to have come prepared!
7.12, Day 2
On our first day of classes everyone got on their way and seems to have had a great time with both their morning and afternoon classes. We had a little free time around campus and then it was off to our Exploration groups, which went smoothly for their first meeting. In our Exploration Groups are groups that students look at a range of subjects from leadership in the movies, character building through genealogy, team building through games, emotional intelligence, and leadership within us.
For the evening event we broke into yet another group, our activity groups and first came up with some very interesting team names and worked on a team chant. Throughout the two weeks these are the groups that will be competing in various events like the Messy Olympics and Trivia night. After our meeting we worked on “50 ways to use your noodle” as part of a team building activity for each group. Each team rotated through stations with each RA and worked on ways to work together and listen to each other. So all in all day 1 success!
