Wednesday AfternoonOur first day at Forest Home was a packed one! Students were greeted by Tigger, a WOLF camp counselor, who has been greeting Laguna sixth graders for over a decade! Dressed as a mountain man, he gave the students an overview of some of the skills they would get to learn over the next few days. After lunch, students built native American “Wikkiups” (or “Aups”): huts built from reeds and canvas. They then used traditional pump drills to make shell necklaces, and ground corn for making corn cakes. We came together with the fifth grade for an afternoon snack and some team building games, then enjoyed cabin time before dinner. Wednesday EveningAfter dinner, the fifth and sixth grades competed in a mini "Olympics"! Activities included catching and balancing ping-pong balls, stacking cups, building paper airplanes and wheelbarrow races. We then broke into trail groups for some night activities. One group of fifth graders played a movement and flashlight game, while the other a blindfold game. Both focused on the importance of hearing over sight in the dark.
