Map the Creek Photo Gallery

We started this week with an awesome day of watching the eclipse with our eclipse glasses and pinhole cameras! It was a truly awesome moment and very cool to be able to be outside for the whole day watching all of the changes. The rest of the week was filled with plenty of creek time working on mapping the creek using compasses and waterproof paper, playing classic Schoolhouse games like  Windigo and Six Feathers, and finding plenty of critters like box turtles, skinks, caterpillars, and a northern water snake. It was a great week to finish out our summer!

Fawn Photo Gallery

We started this week with an awesome day of watching the eclipse with our eclipse glasses and pinhole cameras! It was a truly awesome moment and very cool to be able to be outside for the whole day watching all of the changes. Campers enjoyed running and sneaking through the woods, playing games like Six Feathers, Sock Wars, and Beckon. When we weren’t playing games, campers were busy building forts, cooling off in the creek, getting muddy, and exploring the forest. Our Fawn campers did a great job hunting for critters and we found all sorts of creatures including a ring-neck snake, a northern water snake, salamanders, and of course crayfish. Check out some of our pictures from this great week of camp!

Lumberjack Photo Gallery

Our lumberjacks sawed and chopped their way through a very fun week at Brumley Forest. They got to practice lumberjack skills like sawing with a crosscut saw, using a hatchet to chop and split wood, building a lumberjack camp (Timber!), making pine needle tea and flipping flapjacks! Our rambles through the forest and creek turned up a box turtle, queen snake, northern water snake, salamanders, and amazing caterpillars and moths! The rest of our days were filled with classic Schoolhouse games, hanging out at the viney village, listening to Paul Bunyan stories, whittling, making dorodango (Japanese mud balls), and cooling off in the creek. Check out some pics of our fantastic week!

Monster Camp Photo Gallery

Our first Brumley Monster camp was a blast! Plenty of hard work and creativity went into monster masks and costumes, culminating in our Friday Monster Parade. Monster-themed games were another hit with Scout Mission, Dragon’s Egg, Kick the Can, and Sock Wars encouraging sneaking, running, and hiding through the fall forest. The rest of our time was filled with fort building, exploring the fall forest, and getting wet and muddy in Stony Creek! Our week wouldn’t have been complete without some whittling, hanging out (literally!) at viney village, and finding critters like a rough green snake, crayfish, salamanders, and plenty of frogs and toads. Check out some of our pics to get an idea of just how much fun we had!

 

Questions to Ask Your Cast Iron Cooking Camper – Thursday

, ,

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

  1. What’s your favorite thing you’ve cooked this week?
  2. What do you need to make a fire? (Hint: tinder, kindling, different-sized sticks, a way to light it, and a way to put it out)
  3. Did the elves win or lose their fight against Kiara, the merfolk leader? How?
