BREC Outdoor Adventure

🌭🌲 Embracing survival skills and summer fun at OA Camp! 🏕️ On Wednesday, we fired up the grill for National Hotdog Day, enjoying delicious treats under the sun. 🌭Thursday took us on a journey through history at the World War II Museum, where we immersed ourselves in history, bravery, and knowledge. 🇺🇸 Wrapping up the week on Friday, we put our minds to the test with secret codes and postcard decryption—learning teamwork and problem-solving along the way! 🔍 What a week of adventure it's been! 🌳

🌲🔦It’s “Survival Week” with Outdoor Adventure’s summer camp! Our campers ventured to Escape Room Lafayette to test their skills in problem-solving and teamwork. Some conquered the puzzles and made it out triumphant, while others faced thrilling twists! Every experience teaches valuable lessons in teamwork, resilience, and determination! 🏞️🏕️
