On the retreat we will do a scavenger hunt incorporating navigational skills, a dinner cook-off (girls vs. Boys), and we will sit down to talk about things we can do to further better our crew. along with this we will sit back and enjoy a nice fire and talk about everything we are looking forward to our crew doing.
