Äventyrsbanan

This event has happened before the starting of this blog. As always, pardon me if I couldn't remember every little insignificant little detail. After all, they're insignificant, so why should I even put them there?

NOTE: Every time the word "Aventyrsbana" or "Aventyrsbanan" is mentioned in this post, the first "A" has two dots on top {see title}.

We had a class trip to this "adventure park" called Aventyrsbana which is somewhere in Sweden. We took the metro from Skanstull (our school's location) to Slussen, before a short bus ride to the location.

Once we arrived on the location, one thing was very clear: This kind of environment is heavily centered on nature. Once you enter, you will see one of their ropes courses a small picnic ground, their administration building and a conference room.

On our first hours, we did team building activities first. One of my favorite activities were scrunching up into a tiny wooden box and keeping the whole team up (there was like 16 of us). There was also an activity where we needed to form a circle and pass balls to another person, adding more balls per rotation.

After a seemingly long lunch, we then did the high-ropes course. They let us chose between a 7-meter high or a 18-meter high ropes course. Both rope courses had a balance beam, a net bridge, a tightrope walk (which was optional), and a "spider web" sort of thing.

This was a very good experience, as I encountered heights (which I am terribly afraid of) in a minor level. I chose the 7 meter high course, lol. I recommend the team building activities, because they really let your mind work, and you facilitate common sense and logic.
