So far this week, the green team has been learning navigational skills, Search and Rescue, and Orienteering. 

One of the mornings was spent on the Lower Ropes course (basically an obstacle course) and they had to learn to work as a team as they completed each event.

Within the green team, are two teams

The most important lesson I’ve learned is to look out for our teammates and work together to help each other.  I learned even more about relying on my teammates today on the low ropes course.  In the first activity, I completed 4/5 of it and by then I was so tired and my hands were raw from the ropes.  I literally couldn’t hang on anymore.  Just when I was about to give up, I cried out to God for help, and He answered my prayer through my teammates. They all worked together to get me off that tire.  It was a very humbling experience, not being able to complete that challenge without help, but I can see that I needed that humility more than physical strength.  God taught me to rely on Him and the people He sends.  I am so grateful for the lessons I’m learning here at STEP-God is clearly at work.-Hannah Green One Team
