DAY 1
On the first day of Welcome Weekend, students were greeted by Executive Director, Krista Lauritzen. After the Welcome meeting and some important information, ACN invited all students to a lunch with baguettes from a local cafe to fill up on energy for the afternoon activities. On the schedule for the afternoon were games to get to know each other, followed by a Scavenger hunt in Moss to get to know the city and each other better.

The students went all out on the Scavenger hunt and enjoyed relaxing with some pizza afterwards outside the dorms.
