		<description><![CDATA[Could Katniss &#038; Peeta build a warm &#038; waterproof shelter, find water, and start a fire without any man-made device?

		<description><![CDATA[On October 24, 2011 we had a wonderful field trip with the second &#038; third grade classes of The Children&#8217;s School of Berwyn, Illinois. The students had elected to study dunes ecology so we were charged with the responsibility of finding a site and developing a program to meet their desires. We chose Rainbow Beach, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kindergarten &amp; First Grade Day of Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In early January we were scheduled to spend a half day in a local forest preserve with the kindergartners &#038; first graders of The Children&#8217;s School. However, the weather forecast predicted high temperatures of only 15-17 degrees, a bit nippy for 5-7 year-olds to be out for hours without shelter. So we modified our program, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We just completed a great weekend workshop with 11 enthused, motivated, &#38; good-humored students; 10 adults and master ridge pole-breaker* and bowl-maker, 11 year-old Noah. The facilities, food, and staff at Camp Minikani in Wisconsin couldn&#8217;t have been better.  The weather felt as if it had been transplanted from early October to early November.  And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home-School Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our What 2 Know B4 You Go! program was a very big hit with the three home-school groups who came out to hear us in May and early June.  Though some of the younger children (under age 10) got a bit &#8220;antsy&#8221; during our stories, most participants found these true-life accounts, the demonstrations, and the [...]]]></description>

The weather was sometimes &#8220;iffy&#8221;, but it never dampened the wonder and enthusiasm of the children.  They learned to [...]]]></description>

In recent months we specifically designed and presented a program for a northside home-school book club to coincide with lessons  learned from their reading of Gary Paulsen&#8217;s &#8220;Hatchet&#8221;.
