Wow!! Today was our third and final day here at the camp since we'll be heading off to White Water & Atlanta tomorrow!
We spent the afternoon at the low ropes/challenge course...We split up into two groups and did lots of interesting team building games and challenges...
In this challenge we had to pass a hula hoop from person to person around the circle without letting go of each others' hands...We were timed, so the goal was to do it a few times and keep improving our speed...
Here we were playing "Gotcha" - Everyone had their right index finger touching the palm of anothers' left hand...Whenever the leader yelled "Gotcha" the goal was to close your hand around the finger in your left hand while not getting your own finger caught!
The famous Helium Hula Hoop!! This happens to be a personal favorite because it's always so funny to see people's reaction! Everyone places one finger under the hula hoop at waist level and the goal is to lower it to the ground...Easy?? Go get a few people and try it with a curtain rod! The thing is, at first, no matter how easy you think it is to just LOWER it, you will inevitably end up raising it HIGHER!
In this next challenge, we started off with just a partner and had to stand up together...Then we doubled to a group of four and then a group of eight! But the best part was when we were able to have the whole GROUP connected and stand together!!
Ever seen a hula hoop THIS big?! I bet a lot of students hope to never see one again! This challenge proved to be one of the most difficult and frustrating, but came with quite a bit of satisfaction once completed!
The way this worked was one person rolled the hula hoop down the field and the entire team (about 20) had to jump through the hoop before it fell over! Craziness!!
And now, on to the challenge course...
First we had to get the entire team over the wall...
Then through a tire suspended about 6' in the air...
Next we had to run buckets of water from one end to the other...Easy enough, except the buckets were full of holes!
Now on to the messy obstacle!!
Here, each student had to slide from one end of this pipe to the other. (Oh and did I mention the pipe had been covered in slime and was being sprayed with a fire hose??)
Next was the challenge of passing a heavy greased ball down the line without touching hands or moving our feet...
And finally, to finish the course, each student had to cross this twisty swinging bridge!
After finishing the challenge course we had about an hour before dinner so some of us chose to cool off in the pool!
And of course that means more launching people in the air!!
Johnathan...
Emily...
And Ben!
We've finished out the evening with our final Transformed session here at camp and are now just hanging out! It's about time to head up to the dorms though and start CLEANING and PACKING!! Woohoo! Always fun!
We're off to White Water in the morning and then it's just one more day til we'll be back home! See ya soon!
