After breakfast we had a brief orientation. We climbed the rock wall first. Everybody, including, Val, JV and Mr. Makie gave it a shot. Everyone was great about supporting each other and rooting each other on. After the rock wall we did a challenge course. There were a variety of activities and we all had to work together and porblem solve together to be able to complete them. It was great. Everyone was supportive of each other and they all worked together to solve each challenge. They learned patience, support, reliance on each other, and a willingness to sacrifice for each other. It was a great morning. Also good for us in preparpation for working together tomorrow.
After lunch we headed out to the Ocoee River for white water rafting. It was incredible. The kids had an absolute blast. A few ended up in the Ocoee during the trip down but had a great time and all were safe.
It was the most awesome adventure for everyone!
After rafting we got back to Eagle ranch just in time to shower the river water off of us and then have dinner. Right now we are relaxing, playing cards, horshoes, and a variety of other things. There is a talent show tonight, and after that we will have a bonfire.
Tomorrow the work begins. We will be off site all day working in the National Park. We are all looking forward to it.
