2021 Team Building at Camp Fire °µÍøÊÓƵ

Published September 14, 2021

The METRIC program welcomed 17 students (7 students joined in 2020 and 2021) to the program on September 3, 2021 in with a series of low-rope team-building activities. This was the first time the students and faculty met in-person since March, 2020. It was so refreshing to interact with each other face-to-face since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purposes of the event were meant to:

  1. build camaraderie.
  2. allow students to discover their inner strengths and apply those strengths through structured activities.
  3. provide a safe environment to stimulate students' leadership, problem-solving, and team-working skills.
  4. encourage students to seek help when needed.

ball rolling attempt
Sometimes taking a risk might lead to a surprising success; although, it didn't pay off this time. It was fun to try though.
magic stones activity
Magic Stones Activity: the team worked together to get everyone across an imaginary sea by strategically laying down the magic stones while touching the stones at all times. Team-work and asking for help are the essence in this activity.
