And Rest. 

ASA Summer Survival Camps Edition 2016 are done.  What a riot!  

Each week had its own feel and activities that took over - i loved the invention of three-trampoline-volleyball, speed jenga and tug of war on the slip 'n' slide.  And so glad we finished camps with the daring 'drop off the zipwire into the water' crew.

Thanks to all, it was our pleasure to host you.  See you again.

Survival Birthday Party!!

On the 6th of September, it was our pleasure to host a survival birthday party for Fisher, who was turning six.
A very enthusiastic and intrepid group of kids and parents made bows and arrows and competed for prizes in an archery competition,

and learned to build campfires and roast marshmallows.

it was followed by lots of playing with the outdoor zipwires and trampoline, more archery practice

and, of course, .... CAKE!

a great day, thanks to all for your energy, enthusiasm, archery skills and participation.

Week 3 - Days 1 & 2 - a relaxed week...

Hi all,
The beginning of our last week of ASA Summer Survival Camps for 2015 - and it's been a super relaxed, fun beginning.
Making fires, really making them ourselves and just chillin' with a stick and a fire,....and marshmallows of course.

Next, a float on the rafts, navigating and generally getting wet,... (Dante, when he still had two shoes)

Making bread,...

and baking bread

to make the perfect hot dogs. 

 chillaxing with good friends, and new friends

 And making afternoon popcorn over the fire.

Knife making, archery practice, lots of zip wire and a trip to swim in the lake.

Looking forward to tomorrow, we will make our own bows and arrows!

See you there!
