Backwoods Venture (July)

July 5-8

This week was all about building and practicing our backcountry survival skills and putting them to the test.  we learned how to make a fire and cook over it, explore the wild world of audubon and played so many games! To end the week we all summited Camel's Hump and then camped out at Audubon!
