Vision Youth’s 2016-2017 Orientation
weekend marked the official start of an exciting year ahead for Visioneers,
welcoming many new and returning participants to embark and persevere on their
journey to becoming visionary leaders!
Laughter, teamwork and festivities
can be seen bright and early in Risebrough Park in Markham and throughout the
orientation day. Kicked off with icebreaker games like Squirt, Huckle Buckle
and Link Tag, Visioneers were given the opportunity to practice interpersonal
skills in meeting new friends while being active on the field.
After a series of fun and warm
up games, it was time for Visioneers to meet with their fellow teammates and
counselors. This year, some Bronze Visioneers have the special privilege of
having Gold Visioneers as one of their counselors, in hope to maximize both
their learning experiences!
To
boost the teams’ familiarity with one another, counsellors held many games like
Name Game and Ninja. Silver Visioneers also took up the responsibility to plan
and host various cooperative and team building games, such as obstacle courses,
human knot and telephone Pictionary in the afternoon, training their
creativity, leadership and communication. These fun activities, including exciting
team cheers exposed Bronzes to physical activity, team work, communication and
support.
Wrapping up the day with activities
like European handball, bacon soccer and broken telephone, Visioneers are off
to a great start of the year!
Vision Youth’s Orientation day is
just the beginning for many more meaningful steps to be taken for Visioneers!👍😁
