Questions to Ask Your Young Backpacker Camper – Tuesday

If you’re wondering what your camper has been up to this week, here are some questions to get the conversation started…

TURTLE CAMP (Melissa’s Group) 

  1. Yesterday, we played an epic rainy-day game of Werewolf along with Gnarly Stump camp. How is the game played? What animal were you?
  2. We’ve learned so much about different backpacking skills this week. What have you learned about packing your pack? What have you learned about Leave No Trace and different kinds of maps?
  3. Today we ventured out to Sennett’s Hole for the day. Did you float in the hole? Did you see any cool animals?

GNARLY STUMP CAMP (Pat’s Group)

  1. We played a few different games to learn about some backpacking skills. What did you learn about yielding on the trail? What did you learn about using the bathroom in the woods?
  2. Yesterday we played an epic rainy-day game of Werewolf along with Turtle camp. How is the game played? What animal were you?
  3. Today we went to Jumping Rock. Did you jump off of the big or little rock? What was it like to jump?
