The ocean majesty & wipe outs...

When teenagers and leaders collide- literally.

The excitement of the ocean can be overwhelming and distracting. That is what Mariah, a teenage participant from Michigan learned as she bonded with Laura, her project leader,. In the funniest, oddest way possible.

Let's take a look at one special way bonding can occur on an Adventures Encounter Trip. Recreated for you using a sand pit. (Don't worry, no one is hurt, just full of laughter.)

Picture it: The sun has set not long ago everyone starts to head in and as we gather up... Everyone decides to race & jog in the sand toward our awaiting group.

Mariah turns around in hopes of  starting a game of tag and....

Poof! She runs right into Laura!

and we both fall down!

Do not fret, we are totally fine and basking in the laughter of a very memorable meeting! We must be friends forever now- scratch that- we are family!
