Hello readers, and welcome back to my blog.
Today’s post is about our learning advance to loon lake.
This “learning advance” lasted from February 14th to 17th. We did many things during this trip. Such as DI sweat box, Shelter building, laser tag, battle archery, and many more. Also, the food was really good at Loon Lake.
To reflect on our experiences, we wrote in a book after each day. In this book we would reflect on activities, competencies, and what we ate that day. A lot happened at Loon Lake, so my book’s pretty full.
The competencies that I best demonstrated at Loon Lake were Communication and Collaborating. I showed these skills in Laser tag by developing strategies with my teammates, and just by communicating well. Another activity we did, Battle Archery required these skills as well. For instance, to develop a strategy on where to shoot our arrows, and to collaborate with each other to win the game.
I also really enjoyed Evening Fun at Loon Lake. We played basketball, watched the olympics, and played board games. My favorite activity was basketball, as it was fun to play with my friends.
Here’s my Book:
Another great part of this advance was my cabin. We stayed in a really fancy building, and most of my friends were in my cabin. In this image you can see Colton and Dylan building a couch fort.
Here you can see a picture of Luca with the caption “Tired as F”.
After he posted this on his story it turned into the camp joke. We’d always say: “are you tired as F?”.
Colton ended up drawing a picture of Luca’s infamous “tired as F”.

To summarize, I really enjoyed my first PLP retreat. I enjoyed the area we stayed, it was really pretty, and it reminded me of my house. I liked the laser tag, the basketball, and the shelter building. In this advance, I built on my communication skills. I did this in laser tag, shelter building, and battle archery. In future field studies, I’m going to take more pictures. Also, I want to work on the “Personal Awareness and Responsibility” skill. I think at times during Loon Lake I wasn’t the most responsible or aware of my surroundings. Nevertheless, I’m really excited for advances in the future. (Especially California).
