Middle School Dart Park Retreat
Students in Grades 5, 6, 7 & 8 went on a “Team Building Day” to Dart Park South Sound on Thursday, February 5, 2009. The goals of the day were to build friendships, give students leadership opportunities, and have fun.
The day started off with a devotional on love, and activities to get to know one another. Students were then divided into four multi-age teams, and worked on different activities with their groups. After the sessions, students were able to play some large group games, and explore the park.
At mid-morning we ordered pizza and drinks, and enjoyed a time of refreshment together! Those kids can really devour a pizza quickly! Luckily the teachers were able to have a slice or two as well, and keep up their energy! During the last half hour of the morning, students enjoyed a game of camouflage, and hide and seek. We were so excited to see the students getting to know each other, taking leadership roles, and having a lot of fun!
Theme verse: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with all your strength and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself!”
