Session Five: Survivor Island
Finally, Camp Skillz capped off its fifth and final week with the theme “Survivor Island”. Campers experienced the benefit of getting outside and into nature and practicing navigational and survival skills. They were challenged to find certain items in the forest during their nature hike, learned to build a teepee out of materials in the natural environment, learned to forage for plants, shoot a bow and arrow, make their own compasses, and find direction via astronavigation in the planetarium.

To cap off a great summer, on the last day of Camp Skillz any camper who attended all summer was invited back for an epic water day finale. Afterward, during lunch, campers and staff were able to share memorable moments from what was a memorable summer.
Perhaps the sentiment of the summer can be felt with a camper’s response when asked what they would like to say to Camp Skillz’ staff about their experience so that they can better serve campers next year:
“The day before the last day of camp, everyone should bring all their stuff and have a big camp sleepover and then go into the water day altogether!” That seems to be about the only thing you could add.
