We learned about our state flag.


We got to see where the state house and senate meet.

We learned about our state representatives and state government.
Then we headed across the street to the park to talk about the American Flag.

Idaho Navigators Summer Camp Out 2014

This weekend was our first ever Family Camp Out.  It was an amazing experience.  We had so much fun and learned so many things.

After setting up camp, we opened with the Moral Compass.

Then, we headed off for a group hike to the hot springs; including learning how to safely wade through the river where it over took the trail just around the corner of the rock below.


The hot springs were beautiful.  We had a great time relaxing in the warm water and swimming in the river. 



After drying off, the Navigators collected and sorted firewood.  
We learned how to properly  and safely start a fire.


We took a short hike down to the river...



We learned how to bait and cast a fishing pole.


While we were teaching fishing, a small snake swam up, and we we got to take a closer look.



We finished off the night with S'mores around the fire.


In the morning, some of our Senior Navigators went on a more challenging hike at Dead Wood Ridge trail.




We had an amazing time and we are already looking forward to next year!
