Early morning for our first challenge. | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Early morning for our first challenge.

Hello from The Israel Challenge! This is Suzanimal writing to you live from the promised land about our sweet activities this morning.

We had a lovely breakfast at Kibbutz Malcia and then hopped on the bus and drove north to Biria. There we were assigned to our teams for the rest of the challenge - most are groups of four, one group of five, and there is one Israeli on each team. We have to come up with a team name and team song. Our first activity involved using a grid map to find certain location points along the trails. Great success was had by all. Next we divided into two groups of teams. Our group of five teams started with a box challenge. Using our brains and brawn we traversed a grid two-by-two atop small boxes. After the semis and finals, our team, The Chosen Team, prevailed. Next was a ropes course and a sharp shooting paintball challenge. Much fun was had by all. We are now off to Tzfat for some afternoon activities. Shout out to the Madre, Dr. JoJo, Dr. Bone, Adrian and Adam! Over and out.
