Good morning campers!
The weather is warm, there's been little rain.
Your first task this morning is to discover food safety.
As campers, we take our food with us into the wilderness. There are many ways to cook it.
Can you name at least five?
Go to http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Barbecue_Food_Safety/index.asp
What temperature does a hamburger need to get to before you can eat it?
What about a chicken breast?
What else do we need to know about transporting our food to the campsite before we cook it?
Go to:
http://www.scouting.org/boyscouts/advancementandawards/meritbadges/mb-COOK.aspx
Read it over and let's do number 3. Plan our meals for two days. What will we need?
Can't think of a recipe? Go to: www.recipelink.com
Search for Camping.
Look at all the recipes! What kind of cookwear will we need?
Utensils? Copy and paste the recipes you wish to make on your camp out in your word document. Then make a list of all the items we need to take along.
Whew! Your list is getting long.
When you are done, print it and staple it to take home.
We are playing a game outside today and then having a camp snack.
Thank you for coming to Camping Fun this year at summer school. I hope you had
fun and learned some new things to help you have a safe and fun time while you camp.
Take care,
Mrs. Knutson

Wow. That was quite a storm last night!
What would you have done if you were camping in a storm like we had last night?
Go to:
http://www.campfish.net/lightening-safety.php
Lets talk about what you would do.
Now go to:
http://www.smokeybear.com
How many wildfires are burning right now? How many are caused by nature and lightning and how many be humans?
Have you ever taken a sleeping bag out of the package and unrolled it, but then can't get it back to the original size? Today I am going to show you a solution.
Have a great day at summer school.

Good Morning Campers!
Today is a great day for camping!
When we camp, we can do lots of fun activities. One of them is fishing.
Maybe some of you have never been fishing. There are lots of lakes and streams in Wisconsin and lots of kinds of fish.
http://www.fws.gov/fisheries/
http://www.dnr.wi.gov/fish/
Look on the internet and see how many there really are!
Put them into your list of camping.
Next, we should talk about fire.
Go to: http://www.scouting.org/boyscouts/teachingleavenotrace/035_minimize.aspx
Check out the proper way to create and extinguish a camp fire.
About 9:15 we are going to the park for some fun.
Have a great day at summer school.

Good Morning Campers!
It is a beautiful day and I hope you are all enjoying the summer so far.
We have covered a lot of topics during our time together, but we have not yet talked about planning for the unexpected.
What about an accident! A fall, a cut, a broken ankle.
What items would you want to take in your backpack for an emergency?
Open your Word document and make some notes on what you would want to take.
http://www.redcross.org/ has lots of information. http://kidshealth.org/parent/firstaid_safe/home/firstaid_kit.html is another good source.
Let's talk about what you included in your list.
Our recipe list is pretty short. Now let's check out the internet for great camping recipes.http://www.scouting.org/ has some camping recipes.
See if you can find them.http://www.girlscouts.org has some but are harder to find. When you do find one you like, copy and paste it into your Word document.
If we have time, work on your Webranger activities.
We have quite a snack today, fit for camping so we need extra time.
We will start around 9:30.
Have a great day at summer school!
