Challenge develops . . . Cooperation and working as a team. Effective communication skills. Self-esteem and understanding of others. Utilizing our low elements or portable activities, a group is presented with a sequence of clearly defined physical objectives.
Groups form ideas, test and modify strategies, then reflect on the process used.
Through these common experiences, group development is accelerated and group processes are refined. The challenges provide opportunities to build honest communication skills, to practice cooperative problem solving, to develop self-esteem, and to give and receive support. It makes everything easier. Challenges may be of many types, including physical, mental, and social. The Evergreen State College works with WSU Cooperative Extension 4-H Challenge to operate and maintain our Program.
