I will be taking my nieces age 9 and 12 up to my land and do some backwoods camping,
Today I had them calculate how much fabric I need to build a 10'x10' baker tent.
Breaking down sections to triangles and rectangles for them
Didn't expect younger one to get it, but was surprised 12 year old who is straight a student had no idea . Learned the formulas in school but no idea what they were.
Tomorrow am going to have them put together their own first aid kit and emergency carry on kit.
For the trip first day before we even get to the trail am going to have them help me build a stick foot bridge over a marshy ditch, just 10' or so, but will create a shortcut to the trail.
When we get to the site, will have them use my tent, and I'm going to try making a hammock tent.
Hopefully can get my canvas tent framed out friday and canvas up on saturday.
