INVITATION TO COVER
EVENT: POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE KIDS EXPLORE CAMPING AND SURVIVAL SKILLS IN NYC PARKS
NYC Kids Learn How to Start a Campfire, Cook on a Fire Pit and Build Shelter in the Great Outdoors
Young New Yorkers, ages 9 & 10, enjoy the theme of “Classroom Campground” at Police Athletic League (PAL) summer day camps throughout the city. Through a partnership with Earth Living Skills, an organization that teaches young people and adults about outdoor survival and the environment, PAL campers get a taste of the great outdoors and learn about the sacred order of survival – shelter, fire, water, food. A variety of experiential programming helps participants grow familiar with the natural environment in their neighborhoods, gain new environmental skills, and build confidence and self-reliance. At three park sites, groups of 20 campers each will learn how to build a fire, cook on a fire pit, erect an outdoor shelter, explore survival skills and more!
