Hands-on Activities are a special feature at our Camp School

Hands-on activities are an integral part of our camps and they all have follow-up worksheets directly related to outcomes.
Individual items, too many to list here, are grouped under Aboriginal Studies, Cottage Industries, Art History, Science, etc.
