During the last week of July we had the privilege of putting on he first annual kids camp. The Clearwater Outdoor Adventure Camp. We were joined up with our friends Russell Thornberry and Andrew for a week with kids from 12 years to 15 years old.

He had the privilege of being able to use the facilities at the Living Faith Bible College out by Caroline, Alberta. 

The property runs right onto the North Sask. River. Here is Rob (President) Mr. Thornberry while we are plaining for the next week.

We had an Archery range a Tee-pee ...

Knife and tomahawk throwing. And of course it would not be us if we did not have those crazy At'latls and Darts. We also had  ....  

... a trebuchet ??????




We never did use it. But very cool none the less.

So, we have everything we need. All the fun stuff to play with and a cool poster but there is something we are missing .....
hmmmmmm.......
Rrrright the kids!

Here is Rob putting on a fire by friction demonstration using a bow drill. Then the kids learned to used magnesium and flint to start a fire.

The kids hunting for all the things they will need to build a fire

Here the kids are learning to how to make a bow an at'latl out of what they find in the bush.

Then some fun at the river. And a demo on flint knapping.

And then there is ol' Blue. Going after targets on this "Crazy Horse".

And of course it would not be summer camp without .... a tug-of-war!

Cell phone quality video. Summer camp quality fun!

Then there is the nightly bond-fire. Which the kids lit themselves.

A special thanks to Mrs. Thornberry and all the others working behind the scenes that made this week a success.  

Watch for anouncments for next years Adventure Camp!

Every year the Alberta Traditional Bow Hunter's Association (ATBA) puts on a bow shoot the Heritage Classic Jamboree. And as every year we and our families go to enjoy the shooting and the friendships that we have built over the years.

Here are all the 2015 registered shooters.

The range was great.

We even through around our darts.

Here is my Dad. First time throwing an At'latl. He said he had a great time with the At'latl.

And we had some time to horse around.

And fun in the North Saskatchewan River.

Here is our group that came out to the shoot.

And then there were the awards and prizes.

Rob was even awarded the volunteer of the year award! Yay Mr. President!

And the recipient of our donated knapped knife.
