Old Timey Adventures Photo Gallery September 19-23, 2016

We had a great time in Old Timey Adventures camp this week! We did a lot of Old Timey things such as knot tying, plant identification, fire-building, whittling, canoeing, fishing, learning to play marbles and we heard a lot of old timey folk tales. We found several turtles and a red eft this week as well! To top it off, we participated in a service project which assisted the Harris Lake Park Staff in building Japanese stilt grass monsters in preparation for their Haunting at Harris event! We had a tough group, and the rain didn’t stop us!

Creek Critters September 12-16, 2016

Creek Critters Galore!

This week we came across fresh water mussels, asian clams, aquatic snails, caddisfly larvae, crayfish, salamanders, frogs, some massive catfish, bass, and even sunfish! We also did a lot of tree climbing and played several games, Windigo was definitely a favorite. We had awesome fall weather and a great week at camp!

Thanks for a great start to our fall track out season!
