A Weekend Company Retreat

Back in June, my company took us all on a river rafting retreat for the weekend. 

Here were my sleeping accommodations: 

Not a bad sight to wake up to. 

There were a variety of activities set up around the campsite for us. 

After a traffic filled 6+ hour bus drive, we arrived at our campsite and spent the first night eating dinner and playing games.

The next day we embarked on our white water rafting excursion.

It was great and so fun-we decided that we definitely had the best boat.

According to my face, I found it quite enjoyable. 

In all the rafts that we had, only two people fell out-so I call that a win. 

After rafting we ate lunch and then had an exotic animal show. 

A Lemur (where are my Zaboomafoo people at?)

A baby kangaroo 

Go Cougs.

And more animals not pictured were shown.

Later that day we had some optional activities that included learning about plants, and survival skills. 

The plant lady was a little to granola for me, but I enjoyed shooting the bow and arrows. 

That night was spent singing Karaoke (the Eng team was surprisingly into it), playing laser tag, eating s'mores, and my first exposure to real drinking games-which I participated in, and other people had to drink for me when needed.

The next day was pretty casual, we had a pingpong tournament and played corn hole until the buses arrived to take us home. 

Caught mid throw

Overall it was a fun weekend, and I feel grateful to work at Merit!
