It is the thing he looks most forward to all year. It’s a fantastic opportunity for kids to just be kids! They get to be creative and problem solve. They get to run around in the woods and get muddy and play with sticks. They learn how to work together and be self-reliant. It’s a rare opportunity these days!”
