Activity description: We started off with a brainstorming session. Each boy compiled a list of items he would like to bring to our upcoming camp out. Then we talked ounces and pounds. We learned that packs should be less than 25% of your body weight. So we hopped on the scales and filled each boys pack with weights equal to his max capacity. We then hit the Munsel Creek Bike Trail for a 20 minute test walk. We spotted two raccoons! We also learned a valuable lesson: be prepared but pack light.Tenderfoot rank requirement #1: Before going on an overnight camping trip, show the camping gear you will use. Show the right way to pack and carry it.
Home assignment: With your father, prepare your packs for our overnight camp out this weekend.
