W IL July 29 - August 2 overall objective Campers, you have landed in a foreign land and we are surrounded by wild animals. We must study these creatures and learn how to live with them. D LI F E The best way to blend in with these creatures is to look like them. We should paint our faces as different animals or make mask. Maybe even dress to look like them. We will need to find these creatures now. And so we should head out on an expedition to find them and draw pictures of what they look like for our studies. We have stumbled across what seems to be a natural reserve for them all. It is known as Cotswold Wildlife Park and is home to many of these animals. We should test the knowledge we have learned so far with a selection of random animal tests for each other to make sure we are truly experts in this field. With our trip almost over, we should create a special documentary cataloguing our findings so that others may learn from what we have seen.
AUGUST 5-9 overall objective n av i g a to r The airship is warming up and we are ready to embark upon a trip that will encompass the globe.

We are going to try sampling and then baking their famous baguettes and then will need to make our own sculpture of the Eiffel Tower to take with us as a memory. We re heading south and into Egypt. The pyramids look amazing up close and so we will need to construct a replica. But let s not stop there. We will also need to dress up some mummies to be buried in their ceremonial tombs. We are heading East and into Japan. The towering Mount Fuji is standing in the distance and we need to hike up it and plant our flag on the top. First we must design the flag before we embark on our trek. The next stop on our tour is New Zealand. This amazing location is full of grassland and mountains and is where they filmed Lord of the Rings. Let s honour that and make our own hobbit house to live in whilst we are there! Our final destination is the United States. We should make a sculpture of the Statue of Liberty and then honour their summer sport of baseball with a game of our own.
