Man Venture

Man venture week started off on a rocky field just outside the lodge we were staying at. The leaders had a brilliant idea of playing a game of touch football, shirts vs. skins, on the most frigid day ever. I am on to say this because I was part of the skins team. This was fun for some of us. We moved on to a scavenger hunt in Canmore where we had the opportunity to earn points for answering questions. My team figured that it was just a game so we didn’t run too hard…or really run at all. So you can figure that we didn’t win. Then we played a game of paintball, which the guys quite enjoyed. We next went to a recreational centre in Calgary where we played basketball, sat in the hot tubs, and swam in the wave pool. I took the slide 11 times, which was a lot of fun. There was a fitness gym and a lot more stuff too. While in Calgary we caught a hockey game…Calgary Hitmen vs. Medicine Hat Tigers. As a group we all decided to cheer for the Tigers who got hammered 5-1. We had fun drowning out the Hitmen fans with our Tigers chants. The most entertaining part of the game was a dance-off in the second intermission between Johnny Fukumoto from Site 3 and another fan…Johnny won. Before going to the game, the guys from our site went to Tony Roma’s for supper. It was fun. The week was filled with fun things.
