The Challenge Course!

This afternoon our students and leaders tackled the Challenge Course!! And boy was it hot! Good thing there was some water involved!!

The teams were competing against the clock to complete a course consisting of 8 team challenges...


The first challenge had the team walking as group on a pair of "skis"...

Next, two people had to make it to the top of the wall and then everyone else had to get up and over...

Then on to the porthole...

And after all that work it's time to get a little wet! The goal was to get enough water in the barrel at the end of the line using a leaky bucket...

Then an easier one...Help your teammate roll like a hamster in a wheel to the other side...

Now it's time for the hardest challenge of all, but a favorite for most! Each person on the team must slide across this extremely slippery pipe...Don't worry though, falling lands you in a huge mud puddle and you get to start all over!

Next is a good ol' fashion sack race with a buddy...

And if you survive all that, to finish the challenge you've got to get across the rope ladder...

Whew! One thing I can say is you should all be proud of your students! Not only did they all finish the course but they did it with great attitudes! (Despite the heat!!)
