Students were greeted by four enthusiastic OEC staff members who led them through engaging low-ropes course activities and games.<\/p>\n<p>As Scholars slowly grew accustomed to bugs native to West Virginia woods, they also learned more about each other and how to solve problems as a team. Students enjoyed the \u201cTrust Fall\u201d activity, which prepared students to listen and trust each other, two important skills for the infamous high-ropes course in the afternoon. All of that trust building left Scholars famished, and they thoroughly enjoyed a delicious lunch of chicken nuggets, macaroni, salad, and fruit.<br \/>\n<div style=\"margin-top:10pxpx;\" class=\"separator transparent  yes\"><\/div>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ms-oec-trip-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5008\" src=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ms-oec-trip-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>After lunch, the students were delighted to make their way towards the high-ropes course. Some students had attended summer camp at the OEC in the past, and excitedly shared memories from zip-lining last summer with the new students. Once we arrived at the high ropes course, Scholars helped each other with their helmets and harnesses as they received safety instructions.<br \/>\nStudents could choose from three levels of difficulty on the high ropes course, and everyone encouraged one another to participate despite initial uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>One student, Paola, stated she was too scared to do the high ropes course during summer camp, but with her friend\u2019s encouragement, decided to give it a try this time. Paola gracefully made it across the first portion of the ropes course, and flew down the zip line with an enormous smile as her peers cheered her on.<br \/>\n<div style=\"margin-top:10pxpx;\" class=\"separator transparent  yes\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-4995 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/trust-falls-chicken-nuggets-and-building-community-a-day-at-the-oec-with-middle-school-scholars\/ms-oec-5\/'><img width=\"216\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-5-216x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-5-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-5-768x1068.jpg 768w, https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-5-736x1024.jpg 736w, https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-5.jpg 1844w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/trust-falls-chicken-nuggets-and-building-community-a-day-at-the-oec-with-middle-school-scholars\/ms-oec-2\/'><img width=\"185\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-2-185x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-2-185x300.jpg 185w, https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-2-768x1243.jpg 768w, https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-2-633x1024.jpg 633w, https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ms-oec-2.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>All of the Scholars did a great job overcoming their fears, supporting one another, and building community.
