2015 Camping compass treasure hunt

Before we went up camping we decided to make a treasure hunt for the kids.

 My parents had many compasses which they donated for the cause. Each child would get their own compass to use and they would follow instructions that we mapped out to find sticks and pieces of wood that we marked with bailing twine. After they followed the directions and got all the wood, David helped them all to make a trebuchet. 

Here's Grandpa showing the grandkids how to use the compasses. 



 Here the kiddos are following the directions and looking for the sticks. Some were better with the compass than others.




This was the last spot. Sticks and suckers awaited them. 
 Here they are all gathered to make the trebuchet.







And the video of all the hard work paying off...
