A TLC ADVENTURE

Volunteer weekend.

Our Adventure started with a very scenic route. We drove 4 hrs instead of the only 2 it took to get to our location. Bad directions. But we got a great view of the city. And we all were very thankful to get out of the bus in the end.

So our location was an adventure camp. We slept in dorms. It wasn’t as nice accommodations as last time but not bad at all. We did have some interesting bugs that hung out in the bathroom. One was bright green. He watched us brush our teeth.

Friday night we played a game like capture the flag in the dark in the African bush. Slightly dangerous. A few injuries. But I think we all had fun. After sleep the next morning we hiked up a small rock mountain and checked out the scenery. Beautiful. The morning was followed by more team builders. We had to collect items and make wind catchers. Then we had to make a shelter. Laila, Raymon and I were teamed up for that. We headed for the rocks. We found a great location. Made a great shelter that would totally be livable. It was fun. We found a scorpion and  some snake skin.

That afternoon we built and walked on a big A frame triangle. And did even more team builders. It was good to see how the group works together. The sad part was that since we are so big. 26. We were always split into two groups. But we always tried to mix it up.

That night we did a drumming circle. I wasn’t very good but I had fun. It was a huge fire and there were like 20 drums.

In the morning we went on a game drive. We saw zebra, baboons and an Eland (SAs biggest bok). Then we did an appreciation circle and told each other what we liked about them. It took like 3 hrs. Then lunch and drive home. When we got home there was a quick turn around for some of us. We were off to the Cup of Nations Final. Thats a soccer game.
