My Friends, camp is moving unbelievably fast. The campers have already been here for nearly a week, and that means they only have two weeks left! Fair is on Saturday, August 14th this summer and we’re really looking forward to having lots of guests. As usual we’ve made some small changes in order to try to make it an even better event, so check out the main page of the website for more information. In terms of FC and our place at Fair all I have to say is this: Beef Jerky, Flaming Tipi Hot Sauce and FC BBQ Sauce. It’s going to be a delicious day, and I hope you can make it!
In more recent events, we just wrapped up a day of local-area hikes and today the campers are out on Sacred Order Wanders. The “sacred order” of survival is shelter, water, fire and food, and we take at least one day from each session to focus fully on techniques for meeting those needs in a survival situation. During second half that involves a day-long wander in the lush forest around FC, building a shelter, starting a fire, collecting and cooking lunch and learning about purifying water. By the time the groups get back they should be well hydrated and full, but just in case we’re making an extra-large serving of fried rice for dinner tonight!
As always, if you have any questions please write, email or call and I’ll be happy to help. Of course you’re already doing this I’m sure, but don’t forget to check out the “parents only” section of the website for photos from the current summer. There are some real beauties up there. Your boys are amazing!
