Students will spend most of Thursday at EOU Base Camp at the Blue Mountain 4-H Center, participating in “Survivor” themed outdoor activities and team building challenges with Mt. Emily as the backdrop. The day concludes back on campus with a game of capture the flag played in the dark and s’mores around a campfire.
