On Friday morning, the class participated in the Low Elements Challenge Course at Lake Wauburg. This program progresses through icebreakers, team-based problem-solving activities, and culminates in low elements. These low elements are various logs, cables, and planks 1-2 feet off the ground that require group cooperation.
