Elias attended Camp Brebeuf for the second time. This time he knew what to expect and set goals for himself. Despite not requesting the high ropes his group was assigned this task as one of their challenges. To say the least he was concerned, he didn't want to not do it but the alternative of climbing up that high wasn't much better. After lots of talking we talked about goals, and that reaching the top doesn't have to be what you strive for. That perhaps sitting in the harness could be the goal and if it felt okay he could try being pulling into the air, and if that felt good...and so on. He was so much more relaxed when we changed the focus from all or nothing to giving it a try. In the end he made it too the top of the high ropes TWICE!, he got higher up on the rock wall and he loved building a shelter in outdoor survival. The weather couldn't have been more incredible, and his brother and sister were beyond thrilled to join in the last game of the day!
