Our campers were able to set sail on the creek on rafts they built! We learned knots by making miniature stick boats, worked together to lash bamboo rafts, and even had time to fish the creek. This week was surely one to remember!

Growth Rings: Raise Your Skills Photo Gallery
We set out to grow this week – and we did in all kinds of ways! Not only did we learn new skills in whittling, fire building, plant identification, and snake handling, but we also made new friends, competed in silly splash fights, and explored the world around us in new ways.
