in, need to make fires in order to eat, and are required to use outdoor safetyprecautions
such as staying dry in cold weather. Two youth from Enfield joined youth-from Dryden
on a cold overnight in Willseyville;there were.2 cancellations due to weather and
sickness. Our group was given a challenge of a snowless day-so we had to build a
shelter with no snow as insulation. The result was a simple shelter with a tarp to keep us
dry—which it did,as it snowed overnight. One youth decided to challenge himself with
a solo shelter,which he built under the supervision of Primitives staff. It was his second
solo winter shelter,and he was a bit overconfident at first. He stayed warm,however
some snow entered his shelter overnight,so he had to reevaluate the amount of debris
needed to effectively cover a shelter. .:

media awareness, improvisational skills, acting experience,storytelling, teamwork, and

watching short TV clips to get youth talking about families,a TV family"Jeopardy"type game,
improv games,decorating journals with fanul"Metures and much discussion c5fthe media and
