Special thanks to SGTMJR Kokensparger, Mr. Pedigo and EMT Josh Mallott for a wonderful day of outdoor activities, and field exercises for our 5th - 8th grade boys. The young men completed crash courses on Orienteering, First Aid, Whittling, Fire Starting, Tent/Camp Setup and a GPS and code breaking challenge. They also cooked and ate lunch around the campfire. The day was a great example for the boys of self-reliance and team-building as well as building their outdoor skills. Also a special thanks to the many behind-the-scenes partners including Eagle Cutlery here in Ripley for making today possible.
