The Explorers participated in a group challenge this morning to answer the question, how do we get our whole group to the other side of the rope without touching it? What are the best methods to accomplish this task? How can we work together?
The group learned a way to lock their arms and hands to provide a platform for others to cross.
Sometimes it was easier to pick each other up.
For some, it was easier to jump. They crossed first to help others in their group.
The group assessed their overall performance during one attempt - it was so, so and they agreed to try again.
Sometimes it took a combination of efforts, both lifting and stepping over.
Everyone celebrates as they are able to cross successfully.
The strong arm hold we learned.
Teamwork!
In the late morning all campers walked to Groff Park where we had fun exploring the Fort River.
Sometimes we had to climb over logs to find the perfect spot.
A new seat, made from a tree branch, was tested.
Some of us searched for crayfish and invertebrates.
Some of us played by the banks.
We caught a few crayfish!
We explored logs and fallen trees.
We learned about skipping rocks and tested which rocks were best for the task.
"Hey guys, I caught a crayfish!"
Crayfish!
We built a village in the sand.
Some of the rocks in the river are great for standing on.
We also found sparkling rocks.
