Team Quest at Piney Lake
On Monday, we had a really cool experience with Team Quest at Piney Lake. The purpose of Team Quest is to strengthen groups and teams and create a sense of unity that can only be achieved through trust and confidence in every individual and in the group as a whole. For me, this experience helped me bond with many of the students and get to know many of them better. We shared this experience together –struggles and successes alike– it felt as though everyone was brought closer. I sensed a great deal of support and encouragement, and every single participant completed every single challenge, which is easier said than done in a high-ropes course! Even though there were moments of hesitation and doubt, the group was so wonderful, encouraging, and supportive that it eased many fears and created a high level of motivation. It seemed as though everyone wanted to do their very best –both for personal acheivements, but also for the group. We were all in this together, and it was heart-warming to see everyone work so well together and get to know each other in new ways.
