On day five of our first expedition, we spent the day at the camp we had set up the night before. We had a Science lesson where we learned about trees and soil from our surroundings and an English lesson where we discussed our goals and challenges. At the end of the English class we threw large rocks in to the river nearby which represented our challenges that we wanted to let go. It was an emotional moment for all of us because metaphorically we all held on to our problems but wanted to throw them out.
