Gear up

For the second year in a row, Liberty University’s Student Activities (SA) team has put together an Adventure Challenge. All students are welcome to participate Saturday, Sept. 6.

According to Associate Director of SA Joshua Yeoman, the challenge consists of four different activities —kayaking, running, a team log carry and an obstacle course. Yeoman said these events will take place at Camp Hydaway beginning at 9 a.m.

“A lot of Liberty students are in good physical shape and want to push their bodies, especially in a fun event like the Adventure Challenge,” SA staff member Jacen Hamilton said. “The event will also get students out of bed on a Saturday morning — a rare occurrence — and give them a fun goal to achieve at
Camp Hydaway.”

In order to participate, students must first join a team of six consisting of three men and three women, according to the SA website.

“Each team member must register under the team name,” the SA webpage states. “You may not register for and sign up under a random team name.”

Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third-place teams. According to Hamilton, these prizes will be gift cards to places the majority of Liberty students typically enjoy visiting, such as Target, Regal and Chipotle.

“The main point of this race is to give students a fun but challenging event that they will hopefully remember for years to come,” Hamilton said. “It’s going to be really cool to see how teams glorify the Lord throughout the challenge by working together and giving their all.”

Registration for this event is currently open and is accessible through the SA website at liberty.edu/sa.
