1:30-2:30: Get Wet, Get Dirty/Mud Castle
Work together to get as wet and grimy as you can! Roll in the sand, wrap seaweed around your limbs, squelch through the mud. Whatever it takes to get gross! Mentors (and less grimy participants) will judge who will take home the wettest and dirtiest title!
Adaptation: For those who prefer a less grimy lifestyle, the option to build a sand or mud castle or village!
2:30-2:45: Peaceful Place
Journaling Prompt: Just like in a beach ecosystem, every person brings something special to a team - what do you add to a team that you are a part of? (What are you good at?)
