We truly had an Epic Rain Adventure at Morse Hill!
We started with a full value agreement, where we discussed and committed to:
- Find the fun in unfamiliar or new activities.
- Offer constructive, concise, positive feedback to others if we want them to change their behavior.
- Follow the Platinum Rule: Treat others how they want to be treated (ask them!).
- Keep ourselves and others safe, physically and emotionally.
- Know when the group’s needs are more important than your needs and when your needs are more important than the group’s needs.
Our next tasks were to achieve more skill with compasses by entering headings, putting the red in the shed, and finding reference points. Then we mastered pacing by walking with consistent strides. We found buried treasure, then went on a scavenger hunt.
Our next task was to learn to tie ropes and use them to assemble rafts. The rafts had to be sturdy because we were about to paddle them out onto Lake Wyola! Success!
Mrs. B and Mr. Stewart also paddled around the lake and gave high-fives to Mike and Owen in the canoe.
Our last stop was the high ropes course for a ride on the Sling Shot!
Even Mrs. B got a turn!
