Project Adventure

The Field Trip to Project Adventure was a success! Despite the rainy weather, students and staff participated in several team building activities including leadership games, rock climbing, and high ropes courses. Students talked about skills that they needed to use in their group to be successful at each activity. Some of the skills mentioned from the students were: 

• "Communication - Before climbing you have to check before you begin if everyone is ready."
• "Empathy- Someone who was really nervous went up and I cheered her on because I know how overwhelming it was."
• "Staying Positive - Make the experience fun and don't give up!"
• "Respecting Boundaries - I used boundaries by telling them what I felt comfortable with."
• "Teamwork - active listening and trusting one another"
• "Risk Taking - I used risk taking as a skill. I took a risk by taking control of the situation and touching the final tree during the Mohawk Course"
• "Patience - I had to be patient when working with my other teammates to get across the "lava""

We will be continuing our discussion on leadership, communication, and working with others during out Coping Module on Tuesday. What skill(s) did the students feel they gave to the team? What skill(s) do they feel they need to work on in being a leader?
