🎯 Teamwork. Strategy. A little friendly competition.
Building relationships, learning to work together, and having fun along the way.
Cadets put their teamwork and creativity to the test with a few activities, including Assassin and the Egg Drop Challenge! From strategic thinking to problem-solving, every activity is another opportunity to learn, grow, and strengthen the bonds that make this class successful.
