1. Keep up the good work!!
No concerns 😁
2. I thought this was useful because I saw parts of camp I hadn’t seen before! Hiking to the gish is a must!
3. Dividing it rather than all at once
4. Bigger emphasis on how and when to use the radio. Great Outdoors is fun but radios has been swept under the rug.
5. More time on getting to sleep out locations, and mud hike trail location
6. Similar to how the skills trainings have been broken up to smaller portions each day, the great outdoors could maybe be broken up to go into multiple days. This could be less overwhelming
7. I think just emphasizing on how to build and control the fire, not everyone gets it right away and most kids are hungry in sleep outs and want their food!
8. Sleepout with units rather than core groups
9. i just simply liked all of it. wish i was more prepared on the hiking.
10. I really liked this. I think we should go on a hike to the gish. Everyone. And then somewhere else at camp.
11. Ideas to do on the sleepout physically. It’s where a counselor can become the most creative and form the best relationships with there kids
12. I feel like something that would be helpful would be to talk about how long it takes from place to place. Some areas take longer to get to than you would think, especially with 10 campers in tow.
13. I liked 2023’s great outdoors more than 2022’s because of how the sessions were split up into shorter times. I also liked how Tom taught us how to tell direction based on the sun, and he taught us the different plant species around camp, which I loved showing my campers later on.
14. this might be personal but I felt like I needed more familiarization with getting to different sleepout locations (was confused what each meant at first scheduling meeting)
15. Exact places where we can drive to vs walk from nights off.
16. wish it was more instructions on how to get to sleep out spots on your nights off. camp looks different in the dark lol
