Training Camp Update #2

July 1, 2008 | by Adventures in Missions | No Comments | Views 0

The last few days have been great. 
We’re all finally used to showering with cold water from garden hoses,
waking up a little bit after the sun rises, and getting really dirty
all day long.
 
Two days ago our team went through the Spiderweb, a bunch of
strings strung from tree to tree out in the woods – our team of five
had to make it through without touching the strings AND we had to coach
three blindfolded people through the course with us.  The team did an
incredible job.
 
Yesterday we went through an obstacle course – bilndfolded across
balance beams, one at a time up a cargo net, trying to get our whole
team through a tire without touching the inside, lift eachother over a
twelve feet wall, and a few other challenges.  We made it through the
course and then managed to set a course speed record of 4 minutes and
38 seconds.  Some people think its because our team only has five
people, we tend to think its more because of our skills.
 
Here’s a few pictures:
