⛰️ **Expedition Horizon Challenge: Confidence Crest!** ⛰️

Confidence grows every time you try.

For this challenge, students are encouraged to do something that makes them feel **confident and proud** — especially something that feels new, challenging, or just a little outside their comfort zone.

That could be:

🥋 volunteering to lead warm-ups
🥋 sparring or performing in front of a group
🎤 speaking in front of class
🎭 performing in a play or talent show
🚲 trying a new skill
💪 or simply doing something brave!

After completing the challenge, students can write about the moment or draw it in their Expedition Horizon Field Guide.

Every climb builds confidence. Keep going, climbers!

Confidence Crest is one of our favorite Expedition Horizon challenges.

Students can earn their Confidence Crest sticker by doing something that makes them feel confident and proud.

Sometimes that means doing something new.
Sometimes it means doing something hard.
Sometimes it means simply being brave enough to try.

Confidence grows when students step up, push through, and see what they are capable of.

Parents, we would love to hear from you:

What is something your child has done recently that made them feel confident and proud?

It can be in class, at home, at camp, in sports, or anywhere this summer.

Let’s celebrate those confidence-building moments together.
