Another year of HIVE Week has come to a close, and we at Evergreen Outdoor Education were so excited to be a part of it! This year, Leavitt Area High School’s adventurous “SurHiver” class joined us for a day of competitive challenges, teamwork, and a whole lot of laughs. It was the perfect way to cap off the school year.
Our first challenge put their engineering skills to the test: building catapults. Using nothing but logs and ropes for lashings, the teams worked together to construct their siege machines. Once built, the fun really began. The air was filled with cheers as projectiles went soaring across the field, with points awarded for the longest shots. Of course, the real entertainment came from the “accuracy challenge,” where the students’ aim (or lack thereof) led to some great moments.
Next up was our First Aid relay. The competitive spirit was high as teams raced through a series of stations, applying basic first aid techniques to our patient manikin family. Points were given for the fastest times with the fewest mistakes. It was a great way for the students to demonstrate their knowledge under pressure, all while encouraging some good-natured rivalry.
It was a pleasure to host the HIVE Week students from Leavitt Area High School. This year’s “SurHiver” class brought incredible energy and enthusiasm, making for a memorable day of engaging activities and plenty of good-humored fun. We can’t wait to see what they get up to next year!
