a
IVIT bile her fellow Berkley
High School students
were enjoying their win-
ter break earlier this
year, Huntington Woods resident Jessy
Hodges gained a new appreciation for
one of life's necessities: shelter.
Hodges, 15, was in Costa Rica in
February to shoot the Discovery Kids
Channel's Outward Bound, a reality
adventure series whose latest episodes
debut tonight on the cable channel. The
series documents the actual experiences
the teens encountered, interspersed with
interviews with each participant.
During the rwo-week rain-forest
adventure, the teens spent time chal-
lenging themselves with whitewater
rafting, hiking, surfing and living off
the land. Part of the experience was a
solo personal challenge that lasted an
entire day.
Participants had to spend the time
alone in the jungle in a predetermined
area. Hodges' space was a dirt patch,
located near non-leafy indigenous
trees. Without supplies like flashlights
or camping gear, she arrived in the
early evening, mentally prepared to
spend the day alone.
"It was about 9 o'clock and I
thought, 'Why don't I get to sleep
early?"' she said. "I slept well, but I
woke up when it was still dark out-
side. I tried to get back to sleep, but I
woke up like every 15 minutes. I did-
n't get a whole lot of sleep that night."
And the daytime hours weren't
much better. It was then that thoughts
drifted to the importance of shelter.
When the warmth of the sun replaced
the cooler evening air, it was comfort-
ing. However, the mid-day sun was
almost too much to bear.
"I couldn't get out of the sun. The
trees around me weren't very leafy so
they didn't help. Finally, I found a large
leaf that had fallen from a tree and I
used that to block the sun," she said.
Hodges' journey actually began on a
chilly December day when her moth-
er, Ellen Sandweiss-
Hodges, noticed an
- advertisement for
auditions for the show
in a local newspaper.
"I saw the notice
that said they were
looking for 14- and
15-vear-olds with out-
door experience for an
adventure show. I
thought Jessy might
be interested," said
Sandweiss-Hodges,
adding that the family,
including Jessy's 11-
Jessy Hodges,
at home in
Huntington Woods,
was one of eight
participants chosen
from applicants
across the country
to participate in
the Costa Rican
episodes of
"Outward Bound."
