Boating Skills to Campfires

Our days continue to be filled with great learning and fun activities. On sailing and motorboating, we've been using coach boats to teach our basic seamanship skills. As campers progress, the move up to larger boats and more advanced skills.

The new Green Book have encouraged campers to set those goals. Many campers are busy completing the "Alpha" rank - first ranks on all land activities.

And of course, you can't end the day without a great evening programs. This is Camp II having a World Cup themed bonfire.

First Session is off to at busy start. Campers are learning knot tying skills and learning how to coil a line and throw a painter. Seamanship skills start today!
The boats are all checked out, the sun is shining and the lower Neuse River is sparkling. Campers are earning ranks all over the land!
