Section 16 EO C390.11 – CONSTRUCT CAMP CRAFTS
Resources needed for the delivery of this lesson are listed in the lesson specification located in A-CR-CCP-803/PG-001, Chapter 4. Specific uses for said resources are identified throughout the instructional guide within the TP for which they are required.
Review the lesson content and become familiar with the material prior to delivering the lesson.
Prepare three camp crafts for demonstration purposes.
Photocopy the diagrams detailing camp craft construction for the selected camp crafts located at Annexes V to AJ for each pair of cadets.
N/A.
A practical activity was chosen for this lesson as it is an interactive way to allow the cadets to practice constructing camp crafts in a safe, controlled environment.
EO C190.03 (Tie Knots and Lashings, A-CR-CCP-801/PF-001, Chapter 15, Section 9) may serve as the review for this lesson.
By the end of this lesson the cadet shall have constructed two camp crafts.
It is important for the cadets to be able to construct camp crafts in a survival situation so they will be able to combat both the elements and psychological factors (eg, boredom and loneliness). It is important to construct camp crafts that serve a purpose in a survival situation (eg, a fishing pole does not have a purpose if there is no water present). The amount of energy put into constructing a camp craft should be relative to its usefulness.

Time: 110
min

Method: Practical Activity
|
 |
For this skill lesson, it is recommended that the instruction take the following format: (1)
Explain how the camp crafts that were prepared prior to the lesson were constructed. (2)
Divide the cadets into pairs and distribute the handouts. (3)
Have groups choose two camp crafts to construct. (4)
Supervise the cadets as they construct camp crafts. Cadets will choose the camp crafts they want to construct. If time allows, have each group construct a third camp craft. |
Two camp crafts will be chosen from the following:
a ladder bed,
a pack frame,
a shower,
a washstand,
a drying rack,
a tool rack,
a camp craft for cooking, including:
a pot rod,
a swinging pot holder, or

Time: 100 min
|
|
The objective of this activity is to have the cadets, in pairs, construct two camp crafts.
Knife,
Cord,
Axe,
Bow saw,
Other resources based on camp craft chosen, and
Diagrams detailing camp craft construction (located at Annexes V to AJ).
N/A.
1.Divide the cadets into pairs and hand out diagrams detailing camp craft construction.
2.Have the cadets construct two camp crafts.
3.When camp crafts are completed, have the groups view all of the constructed crafts.
4.Do not leave camp crafts behind. Have the cadets redistribute all natural material used into the bush at the end of the lesson or exercise.
Tools shall be handled in a safe manner.
The cadets’ participation in the activity will serve as the confirmation of this TP.
The cadets’ participation in constructing camp crafts will serve as the confirmation of this lesson.

It is important for the cadets to be able to construct camp crafts in a survival situation so they will be able to combat both the elements and psychological factors (eg, boredom and loneliness). It is important to construct camp crafts that serve a purpose for each survival situation (eg, a fishing pole does not have a purpose if there is no water present). The amount of energy put into constructing a camp craft should be relative to its usefulness.
Natural resources found in the field, such as fallen or dead wood, are to be used for construction.
The directives found in CATO 11-08, Environmental Protection and Stewardship, are to be followed during this lesson.
The more difficult camp crafts should be constructed in advance for demonstration purposes.
