For one of our Wild Explorers meetups this month, the kids had to learn a new camping skill. 

"LEARN A NEW CAMPING SKILL
Every explorer needs to know how to survive in the wild. This week, we're going to learn a new skill that will be useful for camping. You could learn how to pitch a tent, tie three knots, start a campfire, or make a campfire meal. Chose one of these four activities. Just make sure an adult helps you with anything dangerous! Pretty soon, you'll be doing this all on your own."

We went with pitching a tent.

 Success!

This lovely lady had summer dance camp for three weeks! She danced 6 hours a week.

 She also finished her volleyball season this month. 

 Jayden earned a new stripe on his belt (excuse my finger covering part of the picture!)

He also went to a 4 day camp this month where he and several other children learned the ins and outs of movie making. They rewrote the story line for Flora and Ulysses and made it into a zombie movie. We are so excited to see it when it's complete!
