Outdoor I:
This course will prepare volunteers to introduce girls to outside
adventures. Emphasis is on knowledge of outdoor skills: meal planning
and preparation (involving actual cooking/clean-up), use of kaper
charts, propane stoves, knot tying, knife safety and protection of the
natural world. Allows adult volunteers to take girls camping in a cabin
or other walled structure.
Outdoor II:
This overnight session is designed to prepare volunteers with the skills
and knowledge to accompany the girls on a camping trip. Emphasis is on
site set-up (tent and kitchen fly set-up and dishwashing), group cooking
safety and program resources. Camp fire program, ecology and night
activities will also be introduced.
Participants will sleep overnight in platform tents or cabins, depending
on available resources. Participants will cook one additional meal
during this combined course compared to Outdoor II. Participants are not
required to take a stand-alone Outdoor I course before taking this
course. Registration and attendance is required at one of two pre-course
sessions. Register for the pre-course that you can attend.
During the planning session, participants will:
1) Form patrols

4) Elect patrol leaders, assistant patrol leaders and a first aider
5) Receive camp kaper assignments.
