CAP Outdoor Class students at Centaurus High School learn to build fires and use them to roast marshmallows as part of their final exam to evaluate outdoor skills. Written by CAP Instructor Erin Angel.
How do you like your marshmallow? Lightly toasted? Golden brown? Burnt beyond all recognition?
The Centaurus High School CAP Outdoor Class wrapped up their semester with the most fun final exam ever – make the perfect marshmallow! Students were instructed to build mini-fires and then roast a marshmallow to the perfect golden brown. This fun and functional final exam was a perfect antidote to a stressful finals week after a few weeks of working on their action project, which focused on habitat loss. What a sweet ending to a semester filled with growth and friendship.
