Pics from Freshman Orientation...

To start the new school term at the UrbanPromise Academy the class of 2011, eleven students along with the staff spent the day at Mount Misery in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. UrbanTrekkers, the expeditionary learning program of UrbanPromise Ministry hosted the event for the incoming freshman class creating an intense time of trust & teambuilding exercises. As the students went through the drills of a low ropes obstacles and challenge course they found the need to cooperate and listen to each other as they problem solved each challenge they faced Students and teachers come to know each other in a setting outside the classroom and outside their typical roles.
