The CTBC International Academy fall field trip, which included paintball, archery, obstacle courses, and a BBQ lunch, gave students an action-packed day filled with learning and personal growth. Paintball encouraged teamwork, communication, and strategic thinking, as students worked together, planned their moves, and supported their teammates. Archery helped them build focus, patience, and control, giving them a sense of accomplishment as their skills improved.
The obstacle courses challenged students physically and mentally, pushing them to test their balance, coordination, and problem-solving abilities. Overcoming each challenge built confidence and resilience, showing them that they could succeed when they stayed determined.
The BBQ lunch offered a welcome break in the middle of the day, giving students a chance to relax, enjoy a meal together, and reflect on the fun and challenges of the morning. Sharing food in a casual setting strengthened friendships and reinforced the sense of community that had been formed during the activities.
Overall, the trip supported students’ social, emotional, and physical development. It taught cooperation, boosted self-esteem, and encouraged perseverance. By spending the day outdoors, trying new activities, and supporting one another, students gained valuable life skills while creating lasting memories.
