A dream come true!  This weekend, I trained nine young adults to be the first generation of Challenge Course instructors for the newly built low-elements and initiative games course at the Shalom Center.  I have wanted  for many years to introduce this valuable educational tool into the programs at the Shalom Center and am looking forward to observing these young people as they  find ways to strengthen the peace education, environmental education and christian education components of camps, retreats and gatherings.
