Tip from my gf: dress the part. Wear some of your obvious outdoor gear, which may be hard cause a lot of it looks like normal clothing. She had a friend who was a FS firefighter and got him to come in to her classroom with his gear on and the kids went ape sh*t from that alone. Also discussions about pooping in the woods are worth having like someone said above
Jan 27, 2017 at 11:12 am #3447388Again, thanks to everyone for their input. Some great ideas I made use of!
I think the talk went well.
The three favorite things enjoyed?
- The tents! They kids LOVED the shelters. I had them help me set up a tarp as well. I had them tell me why they’d think I’d want to take a tarp vs a tent or the car camping tent. Why one may be better
- The “poop” talk. Lots of giggles..got them thinking about littering, why it is good thing to dig a hole
- THE FOOD! I made some Mountain House apple crisp. The hot food on a cold winter day was big hit. Plus the novelty of eating out of a pouch. The parents were intrigued by the alcohol stove.
Again, thanks all. It was a lot of fun and I think the kids enjoyed it!
