Day four of the Adventure Academy was filled with hands-on activities for both the campers and staff alike. After arriving for the day, the campers went over to the St. Brigid's Parish Center where they were led through a defensive tactics component. The campers learned about the force continuum and how Officers are able to successfully control suspects while minimizing harm to both themselves and the person in custody. After doing many static drills, all campers were given handcuffs and were able to “arrest” one another. Campers were reminded to use proper instruction, maintain a safe distance, and search the suspect following a handcuffing.
After a hearty lunch, the campers returned to the ropes course where they participated in some high ropes initiatives including the dangle duo, two ships crossing, multi-vine, and the cat walk. It was fun to watch the team building unfold as many of the elements were two-person and required communication, trust, and leaving one’s comfort zone to accomplish goals.
