Kieve
The feedback that I got from the students was that they really enjoyed their time at Kieve! The two days we were there were filled with many team building activities such as: Lava River, Bacon, and Line Up Game. The students also played different get to know you and other activities such as: Hidden Object, The Sword and the Stone, and Knee Tag. On Thursday, the students climbed the outdoor wall. On Friday, the students climbed a variety of outdoor high elements. I am so proud of all of their perseverance and willingness to try new activities! I tried to take many pictures of the students. Below is a link to a google photos album from our time at Kieve. Enjoy!
