Howard University - 8/12/08

A beautiful sunny day at Rock Creek Park was the setting for this Adventure Challenge.  A group of 120 Howard University Resident Advisors were preparing to go back to school this Fall, and their wise leadership had decided, once again, to build teamwork into their Orientation program.  As soon as they got off the bus, the group was ready for fun.  The foam noodle pass was a big hit, getting the group warmed up and energized.  The RA's were split into their dorm groups to embark on their team challenges.  Teams had to get their members over the 'electric fence,' an activity that required a great deal of planning, in addition to precise movement.  While some teams had to traverse over 'the acid river,' using only a few small stepping stones, others were challenged by the 'bigfoot relay' in which they had to problem-solve moving from one side of the river to the other using a pair of 'one-way boots.'  The activities required several attempts before achieving success, but once the system was identified, the teams worked together like a well oiled machine.  Another impressive performance from our friends at Howard University!
