Our Survival Skills class is learning about different types of shelters.
So on a Wednesday afternoon we made way to the empty field to make a tarp shelter.
It was totally a group effort and everyone took part in setting up the shelter.
We found two trees that were close together, and using some of the knots they have learned from class, strung and tied a rope between the two trees.
They draped the tarp over the rope and hammered tent stakes into the ground.
After spreading a tablecloth inside the shelter,
we all squeezed inside.
We finished our afternoon off with some mesquite cookies.
For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy, I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Ps. 61:3-4
Such good training for young people. They look like such a nice and wholesome group of kids too! Very good and encouraging thing to see.
Oh yes Rita! They are awesome, I am so blessed by each of them! 🙂
