This past Friday was the long awaited E-CAMP Night Hike! Students had a blast going over skills such as shelter building and how to build a fire. There was a roaring campfire where students enjoyed yummy fire roasted nachos made in tin foil. After properly putting out the fire using Leave No Trace practices, it was time to hike!

Amidst the sounds of howling coyotes they explored the property with GPS units to guide them to the shelters they had built that evening. Students practiced hiking without flashlights on to experience relying on night vision. In between games and finding wildlife tracks by the river, there was time to lay on their backs and admire the beautiful winter sky and stars!Students sitting under tarp
