It Takes Teamwork...

Besides all the individual adventure activities, Veronica’s Ardennes trip also focused on teamwork. It took cooperation to do build a raft from stakes and barrels--it actually floated, but Veronica was disappointed that she ended up with a middle seat and couldn’t help paddle.
It also took teamwork to get anywhere while on these strange skis. Other team activities included a night hike without flashlights, double kayaking and a contest for the cleanest room (despite being in the winning room, she seemed to forget those skills as soon as she returned home). It was definitely a great way for the class to bond, especially since half the students were new to the school. No doubt it’ll be one of the high points of Veronica’s final year in elementary school.
