First off, I have to brag on this class: they are ah-mazing. Seriously. Each and every one of them surprised me in some way on our expedition: from trying something new, to sleeping away from home for two nights (heck, I'm way older than them and I still get uneasy sleeping away from my own bed!), to the immense amount of cooperation and teamwork they showed throughout our three days there. It was so incredible to watch and so awesome to be a part of.
The entire purpose of this expedition was teambuilding. There wasn't any "core content", as there is on all of our other expeditions, but instead it was a time to work together with their classmates to grow as individuals and as a class. Students had time in the evenings to reflect on their day and what they learned, and then do it all over again the next day.
Students got to do a challenge course, climb a really high tower, work together on teambuilding activities, learn how to shoot a bow and arrow, participate in stream ecology, go on a survival hike and learn how to start a fire, and much more!
Check out the video below for a compilation of our week. It was such an awesome one that I don't think will be leaving the students' memories any time soon!
