What's Better than smores, songs, and....The Tick??!!

Team conquers the bucket pyramid!

The team had 48 hours off from the court and what better to do than get to learn more about each other.  The team head to Camp Hopewell, about 15 minutes from campus, for a Team Building session on Friday and Saturday.

On Friday, the team arrived at about 3:30 and the activities immediately began.  The constant distractions were the bugs.  Lara Ontko describes herself as being deathly afraid of bugs and that's exactly what we saw.  At some point a bug flew past her and she screamed at ran.  Another part of the day, Kara Morgan threw a caterpillar at her and she almost busted into tears.  City girl in the country:)  The other "bug" to worry about was The Tick.  The Tick was a clothespin that could be put on you at any time without you knowing.  If one of the instructors yelled "Tick Check" and it was found on you, you had to do something.  For example, Kiley found it and had to break out into song with Regina and Allegra helping her out, you can see the video above.  Kiley also had it the 2nd time and she had to eat a bag of skittles in 10 secs and the third tick was found on Coach Sean Burdette who had to ride around the dining hall on a broom while the girls beat the rhythm to "We Will Rock You."

The team in their cabin

We did a couple more things and then it was time to hit the beds.  The girls stayed in a cabin that had 12 beds on each side, but they decided to move all the mattresses in one room so they could hang out. 

Ruby and Morgan at the fire

To finish the night we had a campfire where we did some Role Playing about rules and communication and had smores!  Whitney Craven had never had a smore before and watching figure out the perfect way to roast a marshmallow was very entertaining.  She decided that the all-black burnt marshmallow was indeed the best.


The team went to bed early because the next day started at 7:30AM.
