You heard it folks, we survived Sky River Day Camp. We spent the week learning and testing all our survival skills and proudly we all survived. We learned how to build fires and tie knots, we learned how to find our way with a compass, we now know the 10 essential items that we need when going hiking, we learned some new outdoor cooking methods, and learned about filtering water and how to signal for help with a signal mirror.
We had another great day at camp today. We were so busy with fun, songs, games, and best of all friends. We may have started the day with raindrops but we ended it with sunshine and smiles. We took our call camp picture that will be coming home with your campers tomorrow so be on the look out. Some of us petted and fed our resident mini donkeys, some played dress up and some of us learned about signaling for help if we are ever lost in the wilderness and also filtering water to make it drinkable. I can't believe that tomorrow is already our last day of camp, the week has flown by. I can't wait to see if we survive Friday. Check out just a few of the pictures we captured today. Thanks! Dot. It was a windy, wet and wacky and wonderful Wednesday. Units D, E, F and our boys unit got to try their hands at archery and fires. We discovered it takes teamwork to successfully light a fire when it's windy. We got to try some tasty soups made with vegetables that could be foraged in the wild including amaranth during our traveling all camp lunch. There was box stacking, and s'mores in a bag and so many more fun things that I can't possibly list them all. More exciting things are coming tomorrow as we try to survive Sky River Day Camp but in the meantime check out some pictures from today. Dot. In case you were wondering...we are alive and surviving at camp. My computer was updating last night and SUPER slow so I was unable to get our blog to open or any pictures uploaded. I'll have to make up for it with extra pictures on Wednesday. We've had a busy two days at camp already. Some of us have learned about the 10 essentials, some have had first aid, cooking and even used sling shots to shoot paint balls. We've got so many more fun activities planned for tomorrow I can't wait to get started. Here are just a few pictures for now there will be more tomorrow. Dot. |
