Tuesday: We will stay at the Buttonwoods Community Center all day. Activities include introductions, icebreakers/ Project Adventure games, and other activities.

Thursday: Today the kids will test their leadership skills as we head to the URI Challenge Course. The kids will take part in team building lessons and work together to solve challenges on the low and high ropes course. We will be outside for most of the day (if the weather is inclement, then we will use the new indoor ropes building at URI), so please remember to bring your lunch, plenty of water, and insect repellant with you! Busses will be provided to and from the Buttonwoods Center.
