DELTA- The Building of a Whale

This past week we have been working on the construction of a new low ropes course/initiative problem for DELTA called the Whale Watch. The challenge is that the group is to get onto an 8' x 12' platform that is balanced on a log. The entire group must get onto the platform and divide themselves without the platform tilting down and touch the ground on either side. Given the success of the group, it can also be arranged that once the group is entirely on the platform, they must split half and half, then change sides. A number of variations can be used like that in order to create additional challenges.

The Whale Watch will be located at the A.L. Mickelson Field Station course, and will be transported up as soon as the snows melt, which might take a couple more months!
