Between Walmart and Talks and Sleep there’s not often a lot of time for us to just sit and hang out as college students. However, Thursday nights when we get off of work and dinner, that is when the REAL fun begins! We have a social every night, which is an upbeat planned activity that everyone at Summer Training Project gets to participate in. Let me tell you, they are the definition of FUN and LAUGHTER and HYPE.
Monday night is when the social is announced every week and we get excited, preparing and looking forward to that night. Leaders and different groups of students take turns hosting the event and everyone so far has done a fantastic job! During some of these socials it feels like you’re in the middle of a college summertime movie because the activity is so unique and everyone is having a good time and it is apparent in the moment how special it is and that you’re going to cherish it forever! Here’s a list of the social events and memories we've made so far!
Low Country Boil - With everyone dressed up in southern flannels and cowboy hats, we had yummy food and plaid all kinds of carnival games followed by karaoke and dancing!
Broadway at the Beach Scavenger Hunt - Rooms were paired up to go over to the large outdoor shopping area and complete tasks on a list such as ‘fake a proposal’and ‘do a snow angel in a water fountain’
Boat Social - Teams were given a movie and had to create songs and dances to perform. The trick is we also had to create a ‘boat’ out of banana boxes, duck tape and saran wrap, to float and hold two people across the pool and back!
Synchronized Swimming - The guys had to come up with a swimming routine in the pool to ask girls out! If the girls said yes, they had a fun group date planned for everyone to go on!
Movie/Board Night - We had a chill social where we had snacks and played cars, while in another room groups of people competed at all kinds of board games!
Tropical Vacation - Last week we had a Tropical Vacation social that involved everyone wearing their best hawaiian shirts and leis with snacks! There was also limbo and durfing contests, musical floaties and the fan favorite...swing dancing!
As I am posting this, it is monday night and we are anticipating one of the last few socials of the summer! Below are some photos of the blast we have being in community together!
