Our group makes their way to Instructional Period #3, the last period for the day. For us it was Orienteering, or better known in my world as "Learning The Parts of the Compass and Then How To Use It To Find Your Way In The Forest ".
And It just so happens that this is exactly what our group did.
The 1st picture above shows the group getting the lowdown on compasses and how to read them. Sort of like being let in on the inside secrets that only a Boy Scout or the Special Forces might know. The group is getting their directions on how they will navigate through the forest and then how "pass" their test in the 2nd picture.
And yes, they all passed. I know this because they all made it to supper that evening.
Proof positive that your intrepid blogger was in fact a part of this enjoyable trip.
After the forest navigation and other Instructional Periods all of the kids made it back to the gym for some hard earned down time. Many played basketball, soccer, or just hung out until supper.
Supper, by the way, was pizza. Pizza from CiCi's. Pizza To Go from CiCi's, not the buffet. The buffet would have been nice. Can you imaging 40+ 5th graders at a pizza buffet at one time?
What's this?
Leap frog??
Could it be that today's youth have forsaken the more modern forms of entertainment for a throwback to yesteryear?
Nah!!! It was all staged. Ms. Steele and I thought the picture would be good. This was all part of the "Camp Games" period. In this activity the cabin groups went on a sort of scavenger hunt where they had to look for things and do different activities for varying points.
Fun was had by one and all.
Stay tuned for more adventures from your intrepid blogger and his cast of 5th graders soon.
