The elementary students enjoyed their field trip to Beaver Creek Reserve. They got to learn about shelter building, which is a necessity in the wilderness and then got a chance to build their own! Next, they learned about tinder, kindling, and different log positions for fire making. After lunch, the they got a chance to shoot archery in the snow. It was quite an adventure! Lastly, they got a chance to see a live owl that lives at the center!
