Questions to Ask Your Growth Rings Camper – Thursday

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

TURTLE CAMP (Whittling and Fire, Kaylyn’s Group)

  1. On Wednesday we tried out some primitive fire techniques, like quartz and steel and bow drill fires. Did you make any sparks or see any smoke? Which technique was easier for you? 
  2. Yesterday your group joined together with the Plants and Snakes camp group and played a huge game of Six feathers! What was your favorite part of the game? Did you pull anyone’s tail? 
  3. Which growth rings are you working on this week? Have you earned any growth rings so far? Which ones are you most excited about getting in the future?

GNARLY STUMP CAMP (Plants and Snakes, Jenna’s Group)

  1. On Wednesday afternoon, your group went on a plant hike through the forest. What plant was your favorite? Did you like or dislike any of the treats that came along with the walk? (Hint: We tried ginger, cherries, walnuts, and syrup.)
  2. Which growth rings are you working on this week? Have you earned any growth rings so far? Which ones are you most excited about getting in the future?
