July 26th Caseworker Day

On July 26, 29 Caseworkers came to AE for a day of fun in the great outdoors. When they arrived one could tell that they were unsure what they were in for. The furtive glances and nervous laughs told the tale. Clinton, Essex, Saratoga, St. Lawrence and Washington counties were represented. After gathering in a large circle on the front lawn to introduce ourselves, we divided into two groups and commenced with activities.



While Team A endeavored to cross The Corporate Pastures without falling into the Sea of Consequences…



Bob’s Team B followed Tarzan across a jungle river taking much needed medicine to the sick and dying natives.



Everyone survived although a few fell in.



Meanwhile the Sea of Consequences was having its effect on members from Team A. One poor soul stepped in and lost her sight. The hand motions and sounds that she made were very entertaining though. The rest of the group was mute through the activity expect this man who was given a special role as a negative leader.



They team kept a stiff upper lip and pressed on in the face of adversity.



Bob’s Team B finished swinging on things and began preparations for crossing The Three Islands.





When everyone was finished with the low ropes, the adventurous attempted the climbing wall,



The Leap of Faith,



And the Zip line.



A great day was had by all.
