Experiences 2 :
What I did : We did what's called the "Pamper Pole" which is where we climb up on a tall telephone pole, we are harnessed up and start climbing up, and then at the very top you have to balance on this tiny circle and then you must jump off and have to trust the person at the bottom holding on to the rope to catch you. Then the picture to the right is what's called "Drop Zone". You're harnessed up like a right triangle the longest side up at the trees and you're pulled up till you're aligned with the longest side and then you pull down a rope and drop upside down and swing.

Experience 2 Reflection :
I've never experienced what I do at camp. The extreme challenges pushes my abilities to lengths I didn't think it could go. I challenge myself with overcoming big fears with these different activities. From the fear of heights, fearing that "I can't do this". Every time I think this, I have a community that surrounds me with support and challenges me to where I say "I can do it". So I do and I prove to myself that I can do anything that I put my mind too. I overcome a lot of fears and challenges when I go to camp. I experience new things, meet so many amazing people that become a supportive community, and have a lot of fun in the process.
