September Campout
Anchorage - Fairbanks - Palmer Campout
at
Camp Tukuskoya
On the way to Camp Tukuskoya, AJAs grades 4-10 joined Fairbanks to tour the Transportation Museum near Wasilla. There are several acres of vehicles and some inside displays, including a walk through an old AK Railroad train.
 
Students and staff arrived at Camp Tuk, boatload by boatload - all eager and anticipating a great time!
 
Chad taught first aid, directed making small survival kits, and even arranged for a rescue helicopter to land at the camp!
 
Meals, worships, presentations on survival skills:
fire-building, shelter-building, outdoor dress, boating accidents and safety...berries...bears...
 
The artist in each student shone with a birch tree painting project. Canoeing, archery, volleyball...even smores!
 
A final worship with a challenge. "My yoke is easy..."
Too soon, it was time to load the boats and begin the trip home. What goes in, must come out.
AJA grabbed a quick lunch at Taco Bell, toured the Tsunami Center in Palmer, and headed home.
It was a great trip!
