Outdoor Lab II

The boys had a wonderful week at Outdoor Lab - lots of amazing learning opportunities and they met some great kids from Zion in Brighton. 

...beautiful location in God's country...
...youth center... 
 
...dormitories on the left - dining hall in the center above the bus...
 
...morning chapel...
...soil conservation - building erosion control...
...Joshua and Duncan got the big axes - prior experience and all :-)
 ...practicing their skit "The Bicycle Shop"...
 ...and performing it live...
 ...supplying their own fuel to cook their own lunch...
 ...archery...
 ...low ropes challenge course...
 ...back at the youth center for down time... fun!
 
 ...the mountain man ~ what's wrong with this picture?
...the badger on the left was found at Rocky Flats - the one on the right was found in the wild...
...his name is "Two Knives" - he talked about survival, fur-trapping, early trading...
Could you survive with just the things in your backpack???
(Thankfully, Joshua had a water bottle!)
...night hike with campfire... 
 
 
 ...climbing wall...
 
 
 ...table 6 in the dining hall ~ a great group!
...and my boys!!!
