Sports director Greg King and sports staffer Sean Walker crafted another fantastic obstacle course this year. The teams ran the 13-station course, striving to complete faster than all the other teams. Here’s the obstacle course:
1. Dark Trailer — campers were shut into a cargo trailer, had to find a flashlight, insert the battery, find a paper and read Ephesians 6:10,11, then recite three of the six pieces of the gospel armor
2. Team Stretch — campers had to lay shoulder-to-shoulder through the mud — if they scooped up a tadpole from the water and deposited into a bucket, they got a time deduction for each tadpole collected
3. Team Weave — team had to hold hands and run in a single file (while holding hands) from the mess hall to the upper sports field, through a maze of trees, to the next station
4. Dizzy Camper — each camper had to hold onto a bat on the ground, put their forehead on the end of the bat and spin around three times, then run across the line
5. Hole-In-One — the team had to throw 21 Frisbees, one at a time, and at least 7 had to go into the disc golf hole
6. Belly Crawl — each team member had to crawl through the muddy volleyball court under the Air Raid tarp
7. Board Walk — four team members at a time had to coordinate to walk from a starting line to finish line by simultaneously lifting the board with ropes to walk
8. Wheel Barrow — team members paired up to run the wheel barrow race
9. Leap Frog — team lined up and starting from the back of the line, each member leap frogged over the line of team members
10. Home Run — entire team had to run the softball bases in a single-file line
11. Hula Hoop Shuffle — team had to sit in a designated area and transfer the hula hoop from the front to the back
12. Team Photo — each team member had to stand within a small designated circle and get a team photo
13. Swallow Quick or Puke — each team member had to eat a mystery food and swallow. When everyone was finished with their “meal,” the must had to gather together and say “MSC Be Strong” with a muscle pose
