Campcrafter Certification

So what do you think we do all day at the Campcrafter certification clinic?  Just lay around?

Hardly!  Although this weekend the weather was so nice, we could have all just had a nap on the grass.  But there was no time for naps.  Not this time.


We did a bunch of first aid, like assessing the injuries on the victim, rescue breathing, making splints, controlling breathing, etc.  If you ever start choking, you'll want to have one of these girls around.

After a delicious lunch we made fires.  The older girls did a great job teaching the steps to starting fire with magnesium, flint, and steel.

Then the younger girls followed their lead, and soon there were little fires everywhere, controlled fires, of course.

We had a great day.  Ready for a whole week of this?  Fun, fun, fun!
