Community and Friendship

Charger Trails has many team-building exercises that make us work together as a community and friend. One activities that I liked the most was the marble luge. I liked the marble luge because we threw ideas out and we tested them. One of the ideas that we came up with was making an actual marble track, which didn’t work after three tries. The last idea was interesting because it had you not make a marble track, but instead hold the marble in a tube and work as a team to get it to the destination.

Being a friend at Charger Trails is a big part about the activities because it is about teamwork and how you use teamwork to succeed in the activity. For example, when we were doing the marble luge, we had to brainstorm ideas and come up with a solution to the problem. We tried doing it one way, but the second one worked better, and I think that it did because we worked better as a team. Also in the maze, we had to develop a solution to the maze and find out how to get through it. We worked together as friends to find a path to the end.

On the hog call, we chose a team leader who put people in groups to make words. The community in Charger Trails was also a large part about the activities. This is because if we never knew each other, then it would be harder to communicate, but now, we have known each other for about two and a half months and it is easier to work together.
