I’m a Survivor!

“Welcome to Survival Week. Tomorrow is Day 1!
Wake up is 5 am. Pack your knapsack (check pics for size) and say goodbye to all your bags for a couple nights. Bring your clothes, sleeping bag, toothbrush and toothpaste, water, a spoon, a bowl and some toilet paper. The essentials. Oh and here is your food and pots for the next few days.
We will break you into teams of 5 and we will hike to our camp site”

The Pioneers were anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time! They started hiking on Sunday around 7am; after of course they emptied out half their bags because they packed too much and realized they would need to carry it on their backs! They learned navigation with a compass and different points on their own (with the Leader by the Survival company) They met a spring and went swimming to cool off.

At the end of their Day 1 journey, they ended at a campsite- and learned how to start a fire. They cooked rice and lentils, chopped vegetables, made pita. Camping rules: Even though you are super hungry, you don’t eat until everyone is done working and preparing the food.They made rice and lentils and made pita. All that hard work tired them out, but no night in the outdoors would be complete without star gazing and look through a powerful telescope at Jupiter and Mars!!
