Hideouts and Strongholds
Lookouts + Outposts
Today we’ll trek far out into the wilderness (and maybe spend some time in space) to visit some of the loneliest hideouts in existence, including wildfire lookout towers, science outposts, lighthouses, and frontier watchtowers. These structures, at the edges of the world and the borders of nations, were built to spot trouble early and keep an eye on the unknown. Now it’s your turn to take a look around.
what you’ll need
- Your Camp Kinda toolkit
- A red plastic cup
- A smaller clear cup
- Battery operated tea light (optional)
- Black paper
- White or masking tape
- Soft, nerf-type balls or wadded up paper
- Cardboard boxes or other outpost-making materials
