The plan:
Once we get to camp get the boys to make some camp gadgets by splicing some logs together. (3 of them will make a tripod to attach a pole to raise the flag on, while the other 3 will make a tripod to hang a pot from to boil water over the fire)
Each boy will be challenged to light a fire using 3 different techniques.
Boys cook dinner and clean up.
In the morning cook breakfast and clean up.
Perform a 1 mile orienteering course with compasses.
Identify 10 plants while on the hike.
Eat lunch and pack up camp.
Drive home.Here is a link to the packing list if you need it.
We will be having a pack check the Wednesday before the campout. We will also be preparing as much of the food as we can after the pack check.
