I've definitely been away from blogging for too long because this post has taken HOURS to compile. I sure hope these ideas inspire you as much as they have inspired me!
Wow- what a wonderful post filled with awesome resources. I actually have a "Camping Out" learning center that I thought would be fun to use with my girls. It's geared towards Elem. age kids and involves creative writing and higher level thinking.
