On March 11, the Academy’s fifth graders trekked to Camp
Timberline for three days of fun and challenging activities geared to build
teamwork as well as self-confidence.
While the students enjoyed the low ropes segments, including
the “Mohawk Walk” and “Wild Woosey,” and the 7 a.m. “Polar Bear” swims, it was
the individual activities on the high ropes, “Multi-Vine” course and the
24-foot tall Climbing Wall that were the highlights of the trip.
During the Multi-Vine challenge, the students individually
navigated a course suspended in the treetops, forcing them to push themselves
and overcome fears. Amazingly, all 48 fifth graders attempted and completed the
Teacher Susan Phllips remarked, “The students faced their
fears head-on, and they all succeeded! They returned from Camp with a better
perspective of themselves and a better appreciation of
the fact that they are one class!”
