Weekly Summary

This week we practised making shelters and hammocks, this turned out to be much simpler than tents so perhaps they will stay dry at camp…

We hope to get more practise in at future camps.

Next week

Next week we are giving the leaders a bit of a break, we will be cooking pancakes and playing Viking chess.
