troducing 10 and 11-year-
old children from the
Terrace area to the joys
of outdoor camping on a
site 11 miles up the Nass

Organizers George
Kenny and Marty Scales,
both teachers at E.T.

been teaching the young
camping enthusiasts
skills which they say are
designed to help the
children bulld confidence
and independence.

Some of the skills which
are being taught to the
boys and girls are fire
building, cooking, setting
up camp, orienteering

Children learn

while camping

that many of the children
have never camped alone
at night before and that
the experience was
beneficial to many of the
children because it
helped them develop
independence,

“The children are
encouraged to show
initiative in the struc-
turing of their day plan,”
Kenny sald. ‘We found
that the chmping site was
in need of a dock so we
decided to build one

- ourselves.” The children

were working hard to
complete this task when
Kenny spoke to the
Herald on Thursday.
