While some folks may have said this week was too cold for camp, our campers out at Brumley Forest found the weather to be perfect for building a fire and grilling up some flapjacks! In addition to learning and practicing basic fire-building skills, our young chefs perfected some old recipes like snakes, pine needle tea, and pita pizzas. They also tried some new things, like chocolate cake cooked in orange peels and the very-popular baked s’mores cake. In between cooking sessions, we managed to fit in a few classic Schoolhouse games like Dragon’s Egg, Beckon, and Scout Mission. We also explored some new climbing-trees, built forts, and found some critters, including a worm snake. Check out the pictures below to catch a small glimpse of our big week.

What do you do when your “spring” camp brings you snow? Build a fire and roast some marshmallows, of course! And what do you do when your theme is about mythical creatures? Build fairy houses, troll bridges, wizard staffs, and fairy wands! We did all that and more out at Whispering Pines this week. We filled our days with whimsical stories about all kinds of creatures, from fairies to trolls. We got loud to fight (and defeat!) the Windigo and quiet to listen to the sounds of nature and birdwatch. We explored and named new places around camp, like Crystal Mountain, Salamander, and Dino. And of course we made time for some classic Schoolhouse games and whittling practice. It was a delightful and imaginative week. Check out our photos below!
