Jungle Camp!

Out in the forest (as they say in Canada) on the NTM base is a little area called Jungle Camp.

Jungle Camp is part of an intensive training for folks who want to travel the globe to serve in middle-of-the-sticks areas. Participants practice survival skills and practical ways to make life work in an incredibly rustic setting...

...we're talking build-your-house-out-of-sticks-and-wrap-it-with-plastic sorts of skills!

Not only do participants build themselves houses... 

they are also required-- kiddos and all-- to live in said houses for a few weeks.

I have great respect for Jungle Camp grads.
