SAB Retreat

Last weekend was the leadership retreat for next year's Student Advisory Board for the Presbyterian student community (the leadership team of 8 students that help get things done--we plan chapel, host events, set up small groups, and help facilitate community). We went up to Lake Arrowhead to spend the weekend planning, vision setting, and working on team building activities to help us learn to communicate with one another. It was a great weekend, and of course, Kernie got to come with us and make more friends! Here are a few photos:

Kernie got to drive on the way up--what a lucky monkey!!

Here are Denise, Sophie, Kernie and I the first day we were there.

Fun times in the kitchen!

One of our first team building exercises was to get the hoola hoop all the way around the circle without letting go of each other's hands:

How many SABers can you fit in a hoola hoop?!

Ryan, our mountain man...A sleepy Sophie & Sarah! (And Kernie!)

Our next task was to use the hiking rope to create a perfect rectangle--only all of us were blindfolded, Alan couldn't talk, and Ryan could only use one leg--but we did it! And Denise said she's never seen a group make such an incredibly perfect rectangle!

Here is Bob, pacing each side to make sure they were equal

I know this looks bad! We had to some how try to get the lines perpendicular with one another...

Jenn and Dave hold the line while Bob continues pacing

Sophie has fun trying to use both hoola hoops at once:
