College students provide outdoor guidance to local school children KU S it» "** During the week of May 8 through 12, 20 College students from the Outdoor School Counseling course spent a week at Camp Nate Creek with nearly 100 students from Bilquist Elementary School in Milwaukie. The College students helped the children explore and experi ment with the outdoor environment. Despite rainy weather, campers and counselors participated in environmental learning experiences during the day and spent evenings around the campfire. Above, one of the challenges of the counseling week was on Wednesday when each College student had four to five campers to keep busy for four hours. These campers are on their way to a "lost" area of the camp where they will discuss survival skills. Blindfolds were used to help create an illusion of being lost in the wilderness.
