Kids In The Wild!!!

Kids in the Wild was the first of numerous senior projects this year.  Eighteen children between eight and twelve years old attended the event held at Moore Biological Field Station. These children were all involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS).   In the morning the children did two different activities.  One was a nature hike where they look at many things that are different from what they are used to and just enjoyed being out in nature.  The second activity was seining Dutch Creek and letting the kids handle and look at the different species of fish and other animals that live in the stream.  For lunch the children were able to cook hotdogs over campfires and the got to eat s'mores.  In the afternoon the children got to learn how to shoot bows and arrows from Tami Pullins as well as do a scavenger hunt and learn about plants such as indian toilet paper.  The kids had a fun time as well as learned things that they do not see on a regular basis and got to be outdoors for a day.
