Our TCE Outdoor Leadership class headed to the Valley Campus for their first trip of the year recently.
They took on a range of challenges designed to test their teamwork, leadership, problem solving and perseverance, such as building and racing rafts, initiative games, river crossings, a hike to an old gold mine, and fire lighting without matches. The weather was variable, with a cold wind on the first day and hot weather the next, which highlighted the importance of having the correct gear so that we can remain comfortable and fully functional in the outdoors regardless of the weather.
There was a great level of energy and enthusiasm throughout the trip and a solid foundation has been laid for the rest of the year’s coursework and activities.
