3) Explore the forest within our clans

4) Get to know the plants in the forest and fields

5) Help some friends across a stream

6) Exchange stories, jokes, and riddles

Camp favorite: A man rides into town on Friday, stays three days, and leaves on Friday. How is this possible?

7) Go just about anywhere for prime pieces of kindling

8) Create fire using handmade bow-drill sets

Fire by friction is the best kind

9) Eat delicious food cooked by the fires we made

10) Enjoy some time at the wilderness “spa”

11) Become one with the grape vines
