Winter Camping Prep

Last night we had our Winter Camping prep meeting.  

We did some experiments with clothing by chilling a few bottles of hot water "dressed" in nothing, light clothing, warmer clothing and layers.  We packed them into a pot of ice.


We found that layers really do keep you warm.



Then we got some wiggles out with worm races.



Our Seniors and older Junior Navigators learned about the dangers of winter camping and how to properly dress.  They learned about building winter shelters and were divided into teams with roles and responsibilities for building our own snow shelters in our upcoming winter camping trip.


Our Stargazers had a blast building a "shelter" and reading books about how to dress properly in the winter. 


We are READY for our Winter Camping Day Trip!
