This week of camp made it hard to not have spring be our favorite season in Brumley Forest. All sorts of flowers were blooming, the Canada geese started nesting, and the weather was fantastic. We practiced shelter building that resulted in some awesome forts complete with shelves and kitchens, we learned about and practiced fire building techniques, identified trees and plants, and of course looked for tracks and signs of animals throughout Brumley Forest. Games were a highlight of the week with Beckon, Kick the Can, and some very mysterious rounds of Scout Mission. We braved some chilly water to explore the streams and had a blast finding all sorts of critters like crayfish, salamanders, and turtles. Whether we were swinging on vines, climbing trees, or sneaking through the forest – a great week was had by all!
