For my first weekend as part of the REU ProHealth program we went to Bradford Woods to get to know each other better with icebreakers and team building exercises.  After we arrived on the first night, we played games outside and had a campfire and s’mores.

The next morning we began the ropes course but unfortunately it started to rain and we went inside.  After a few indoor activities we went back outside to climb the alpine tower and go canoeing. After dinner we returned to the waterfront for beach volleyball, and a campfire. Bradfood Woods was such a fun experience, it felt like all of summer camp crammed into one weekend.

On Sunday May 21, we moved in to our apartment on the Bloomington campus. It was on the fourth floor with no elevator so moving in was a challenge, but the apartment was beautiful. Later we went on trips to Kroger and Walmart. That evening we had dinner and met some of our potential mentors for the summer. I can’t wait for the rest of the week!
