last Thursday
I went with one other adult and we took 17 kids (ages 5 to 17) to a provincial park about an hour and a half west of me. It was fantastic, we got there just in time for a downpour, so I got to show them how to start fire in the rain and we did what we were going to do anyway, just wet. Hot dogs and smores in the rain. One of the highlights was that there was a Sundance being held just inside the park so the kids got to observe part of that too. I got to teach a bit of basic orienteering and map making and took them out trail hiking. Some of us went swimming even though it was raining. When it was pretty much time to haul them all home, the sun came shinging through so I took time to build another fire, more hot dogs and smores and give everyone a chance to dry out before we got back in the vans. It was great.
