Woodsmen Group Returns from Lake Trip

09.26.2008

The Woodsmen group at Camp spent two weeks camping at an island in Lake Keowee located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in South Carolina. The group has been studying frontier life so they built campsite crafts such as a dining table, fishing pole rack, paddle rack, etc. They explored the lake in canoes and did a lot of fishing and swimming. They also visited a few waterfalls in the area. The group studied the scorpions they found around their campsite. The Woodsmen made a lot of progress working together and grew closer together having fun as a group.
