How do you cross an ACID RIVER ?

Traversing a rope course requires teamwork.....AND a good sense of balance doesn't hurt!

Helmets on? Let's GO!

UP, UP, UP AND AWAY!!!

Working as a team &
United in Christ!



	On 09/13/07 the FPC Youth Group visited Boulder Ridge in Fairfield, PA to take on "Teamwork Challenge 2007". We had a beautiful day for our group of 18 participants to enjoy the gorgeous mountain setting. The professional staff of Boulder Ridge was ready to challenge our minds and bodies in an effort to bring unity to our group. Our challenge started out with some group warm-ups and moved on to some fun teamwork exercises. Each team consisted of 9 participants who explored several challenges including low ropes courses, acid river and log balancing. With each exercise we were faced with not only physical but mental challenges and we figured out how to get from point A to point B as a group. We learned a lot about working as a team and discovered some new strengths in each of us. Later we all donned helmets and harnesses and headed for the 35 foot climbing wall and zip line. In addition to the climbing wall was a long suspended net as an alternate route to the high deck (which was not easy either!). Once atop the high deck we were clipped to the zip line and glided down through the trees back to the ground. After we exhausted ourselves climbing, challenging and zipping, we settled in for a picnic lunch on the lodge deck. Friends, Sunshine, Mountains, Really Big Toys.... What a wonderful way to spend a no-school-day!
