Today marks the first annual Survival Skills Day Camp. Many thanks to the Kelly family for hosting our event and sharing their beautiful home with us. 
This is an account of our day. I took 389 pictures and had to use much restraint in picking my favorites!
Our camp started at 8:00 am and the first thing that needed to be done was to start a fire. Since we are learning about survival we tried to start the fire with brush and a starter flint. 
The brush was damp so after several attempts at starting the fire to no avail, we called for a lighter. 
Then up went the tent. 
Soon the water was on for hot chocolate and the pancakes we being made. 
After breakfast it was time for some fishing. 
There was also time for archery, play time and some R&R. 
We took a ride on the squirrel through the grass lands. 
Then it was time for the kayak.
Lunch time was soon upon us. 
We topped off our lunch with some delicious S’mores! 
Everyone enjoyed the tasty treat! 
We ended our day with one last adventure to the Ball Knob Cemetery, with many of the grave markers from the 1800’s.
Our camp ended at 1:00 pm and we had a wonderful day! One student thought it would be a good idea to do this once a month, and I’m with her! Once again, Kudos to our amazing hostesses!! Until next year!
