This year the action packed two days had a Stone Age theme with activities including: investigating a cave, shelter building, fire-making, feeding the animals, learning about a Stone Age roundhouse, bread making and then cooking it on an open fire and a history walk. Our evening activities included cave painting and creating our own clay faces!

We arrived at Castleton and then we split into our groups. The first group did fire lighting and den building. Then the next group went into a fake cave to show them what a real cave looked like. Zackary
