Jigglyton, Wigglyton, Copy Cat: All names of villages in the woods of Camp Forest in Brooks, Maine. To obtain their Osprey award, campers must build a shelter; to obtain their eagle award, the shelter must be waterproof and bug proof from the materials provided in the forest. Teams go out and locate a spot and build their shelter. This year groups decided to build “villages”.
After their shelter is built they begin working on their cooking utensils, a coal burned spoon or bowl. Activity at Camp is individually driven around Camp Forest’s own wilderness badge system with campers working toward their Osprey or Eagle awards or the Maine based Junior Maine Guide curriculum earning a Junior Maine Woodsman, Maine Woodsman or Junior Maine Guide patch.
Your donation provides a full or partial campership for a child that might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. As we wind down the 2018 camping year, we dream of 2019 and begin building the campership fund.
Thank you
