Embracing November Chills

We have been taking classes from the full time staff. We have learned what goes into preparing, faciliatiating, and debriefing a paintball game. We have learned about the history of River Valley Ranch. We have scratched the surface on all that was involved with RVR becoming the ministry we all love today. We got to visit WRBS and see all that was involved in a radio broadcasting. Tom Bisset shared with us encouragement for the year. For fun and learning we worked together and planned 3 day trips. The first day we went canoing. The second day we went climbing at a climbing gym. We finshed our 3 days of adventuring with a day hike on the Appalachian Trails with the whole Bonawitz family. November has been a time to really enjoy one and another change of season after the intense month of October.

Fall Festivities!!!

It's that time again!! The weather is cool, the leaves are vibrant... Let the fall festivities begin! By now we have support hosted retreats, hosted the workers, prepared and worked with the corn maize, and helped facilitate outdoor education groups. It has been both exciting and exhausting being apart of all these things. We have gotten to facilitate the different activities. We have been able to put into practice our training on both high and low adventure elements. We have learned how to serve the outdoor education groups on a personal level. Our awesome director surprised us with a trip to the Inner Harbor. We were able to experience the city life through some chill time in the coffee shop and on Federal Hill.
