Bridge building was an exciting and entertaining activity that engaged the whole group in the fundamentals of teamwork. A kayak was placed approximately 8 metres from the beginning of the water’s edge. We were instructed to form triangular tripods that over time formed a bridge that would support us to the hull of the Kayak. We separated into organised teams that would focus on different aspects of the construction. After nearly 2 hours of intense work we managed to complete a bridge, two tripods and a ramp that when ordered in a sequentially accurate format would form a bridge to the kayak.

fterwards we reflected on our day and had a group conversation on the fundamentals of teamwork. We had a great day and hope to have many more like this.
