In a recent meeting the older girls learned about the signs and symptoms of hypothermia and how to treat it. Their favorite parts were learning about the “umbles” and then making a human burrito using camping gear and personal layers.
The younger girls learned about a proper hygienic practice for Leave No Trace “pooping in the woods”. Ask them to tell you how!
Last week our combined group focused on working together to communicate and problem-solve multiple versions of The Maze. The girls had a blast working their way through this initiative, from one side to the other, finding different ways to communicate when their speech was “taken away”. Strong team work unfolded.
Sophia Cross, Asheville High senior and long standing member of TAASC, has attended nearly all sessions, bringing her expertise, fine role modeling, and enthusiasm for girls and the program. All of the girls love her and so do the staff! She is an excellent example of how this program so positively informs and creates a confident, strong leader with amazing outdoor skills. We are so fortunate to have her with us!We will be sending out a packing list of what they should wear and bring to be prepared during and after the cave exploration. This guarantees to be a muddy and fun trip!
Looking forward to more adventures with these awesome girls!
This week our six and seven year old Taasc girls embraced the dark as we turned our attention toward our upcoming day trip to go caving! These girls have already been building trust with one another at meetings. It wasn’t that long ago that each girl was leading her blindfolded partner on a trust walk in the woods, and then they took it to the next level as they back up belayed each other at the climbing gym.
