Day For Upward Bound
Today, Outdoor Pursuit put on an event for the Upward Bound program at St. Scholastica. UB is a program that helps prepare and motivate high school students for their college journey. As a staff and student leader for OP! I was asked to help prepare for and volunteer at the event. We organized a large scale scavenger hunt for the participants on campus, and it seemed like blast. It involved finding a series of places on campus with the use of given GPS coordinates and completing various team building challenges and activities. The point I was stationed at was near the softball field. I enjoyed seeing the participants attempt the given challenge and work as a team. Although it got to be a bit chilly being outside for nearly two hours, it was great spending the day outside while also being involved with two great programs on campus.
