Camp Hart Fall Festival

The Camp Hart Fall Festival was a great time for all who went.  There were 8 stations lined up that the boys went to. They started the day running the obstacle course and then hurdling over hay bales.  Then they moved on to the pumpkin carving station where in addition to carving a pumpkin in small groups they got treated to some apple cobbler and a few rounds at shooting tennis balls with a 3 person sling show. Next they made their way to the Leathercraft station and learned how to imprint on leather while making a little medallion for themselves. Afterwards they moved on to the ‘Safety and Targets’ station where they learned proper range etiquette, the safety rules for archery and bb-gun shooting and then they learned a bit about proper form and were able to draw their own bulls-eye targets.

Finally we had lunch but only half the day was done.  After getting their bodies refueled they moved on to the BB-Shooting range and got to fire a BB rifle for a few rounds.  For many of them, this was their first time.  After BB’s it was right on to the Archery range where they got to fire several arrows into the bulls-eye.  Mom’s and Dads alike had fun at these two stations.

After the shooting sports we moved on to the campfire station where the boys learned a few songs, a bit about outdoor interfaith religious services and more. And finally a long tiring day came to a close with the Map & Compass station where the boys got a brief introduction to using a map & compass and then had to go on a scavenger hunt finding clues using what they just learned.
