Ranger Challenge is a two-day challenge where 38 schools come

together and test their physical and mental skills through a 32 lane

course that varies from land navigation, ruck marches, one rope

bridge, knife throws, litter carried, and more. This year our ranger

team learned how to communicate and work as a team, while mak-

ing memories.
