Well, your student needs to join Community Schools Outdoors this summer to feed their need to get outside! We have two different twists on our Mt. Lemmon Bound Program.
Our first offering this summer, June 8-12, is Mt. Lemmon Bound! CS Outdoors will take day trips up into the Coronado National Forest Monday through Wednesday. During our day trips we will explore a new trail each day, learn outdoor survival skills including knot tying, building a shelter, how to read a map, what to do if you get lost or encounter an animal.
Students will have an opportunity this week to take on a leadership role and help lead a hike, teach a lesson on outdoor skills, create an itinerary for the group or help plan our overnight adventure in the woods!
On Thursday morning we pack up with our camping gear and spend the evening at a campground on Mt. Lemmon. This is a great opportunity to spend the night outside with their new friends. We have them set up camp, cook a meal, star gaze, story tell and more! It is a wonderful group experience and a great introduction to camping and becoming a better outdoors man!
Our other Mt. Lemmon Bound Program this summer, July 6-10, is Geocaching! This week is all about day trips up the mountain with a treasure hunting twist! Your student will be immersed in the world of GPS! We will learn how to program, ready and navigate with a handheld GPS. We take pride this week in practicing our Leave No Trace Skills by Caching In and Trashing Out. This camp is a wonderful blend of nature & technology. Students will find this as another opportunity to take on leadership roles, practice team work and build on their map reading skills. An overnight camp out on Thursday is also included.
Take advantage of these unique camps this summer with Community Schools Outdoors & Camp Foothills! Register before May 1 to take advantage of our Early Bird Reward!
