Thursday MorningAfter breakfast the second morning, sixth graders practiced making fire with primitive tools, using both hand and bow drill methods. It was exhausting but some groups were successful! Students also made dreamcatchers during this time, personalizing them with feathers and beads. Thursday AfternoonAfter lunch on Thursday, sixth graders spent the afternoon on the rock wall, zip line, and learning how to do archery and tomahawk throwing. There was also a human foosball court, so we had a class match! Thursday EveningBefore dinner, we had a visit from some reptiles! Students had the opportunity to learn about and hold frogs, snakes, lizards, and turtles from around the world. After dinner, sixth graders participated in a "drum stalk," where they were led blindfolded across camp and placed independently, crossing much of the camp blindfolded by themselves following only the sound of a drum. It can be a very challenging and meaningful experience for some. Friday MorningWe wrapped up the trip in sixth grade by making traditional medicine bags and learning how to make flint and obsidian arrowheads. Students participated in a naming ceremony, and received a "spirit name" after their time together.
