It's the last day of Guide School; this week has flown by! Super intense and super fun. Today started with poster judging, animal presentations, and our final test. After we found out that everyone passed, it was time to enjoy the rest of the day.
We went outside and used most of the knots we learned to make a vector line. It is neat to find out what all someone can do if they learn a couple of knots.
Then it was time to start Guide School Olympics. The games started off with an opening ceremony. Ian "Gummy Bear" McIver lit the paddle torch (which was really funny). The first event was a skit--which my team lost. Steve Wilde"man" stole the show. Throughout the day, we participated in various activities such as the off-hand rock throw, slalom, and the best run through Big Kahuna. Lastly, we did a raft flip with a race to the takeout.
Overall, this has been a great week. We had some great coaches and everyone in Guide School became quick friends. I feel like we have known each other forever and it has only been a week. Now its time to graduate and go celebrate!
