Halloween Morning activities


We had some dress up costumes this morning, and as a member of the Halloween team we get first in meal line all day today; Yippie!
After breakfast we had a little bit of rain, but nothing major. Most activities went on as planned and everyone went about their ways.
Low elements is probably my favorite activity at camp. At our past camp ground (Camp Loucon) it was called the ropes course, or something like that and it is SO much fun.Its very simple activities (getting all team members over a wall, lining up ourselves by middle names without talking, etc.) You see a lot of the quietness in some of the kids come out which is really nice to see.
One of our favorite workers was so nice, and explained the different activities we would be doing as a team, and the importance of motivation.
 This challenge was to fit as many people as we could onto a small wooden box (2x2 feet wide maybe?) The record was 18, so of course we tried for 19. we got close but maybe the little kids will have better luck.
 Getting from one plank to the other without falling into the peanut butter pit.
 Arranging ourselves by birthday, then ages without talking ( I like this one a lot)
 The point of low elements is to work as a team. I mentioned that we see the shy kids kind of come into their element in these activities and thats what its all about. These challenges are very silly and would never happen in everyday life we they make us laugh and have fun.
