Our school, the St. George School, has a nature trail in the back of the
school. It has gotten very weedy and grown in, and we want to fix it up!
We didn't know how to make a nature trail ourselves, so we went to The
Youth Forestry Camp in Lincolnville, Maine to learn how to. Also they showed
us how to use a soil auger, played some fun cooperative games, and how
to work better in groups. We also learned how to play the compass game
(picture and description below), and we had fun measuring through the woods
with a 100 ft. metal measuring tape. All the groups hiked the trails and
found out interesting facts about the trees and soil that was out there.
With the soil auger we found out that down deep in the ground the soil
actually is a different color!!!
Every night everyone would pull pranks on everyone for when they got back
to their cabins. For example, a girl's cabin put fake fingers, thumbs,
and spiders in the sleeping bags of a boy's cabin and it freaked them out!
On the last night we were there we had a talent show. People made fun of
row, row, row your boat and did funny skits.
Camp staff served us food and we had a waist-O-meter. The waist-O-meter
is a bucket that any left over food we didn't eat, we put it in the bucket
to try to cut down and see how much we are wasting.
Thank You
The Compass Game
