Sometimes, it feels like a lot of people on this planet are lacking common sense. And, kids can very easily fall into this category.
Sure, they may know their way around a video game. But do they know how to change a tire? YouTube may help them out, but there’s nothing better than hands-on learning. Plus, sometimes it’s important to learn skills like this so that they can help others in need with a sense of confidence.
To try and change that around, parents Paul and Oona Hanson have created a camp that teaches kids these basic skills. It’s called Camp Common Sense. Enlisted are their children, 17-year-old Gwendolyn and 12-year-old Harris. And — that’s it. At least, for the time being. Given that social distancing is still very important, that may be for the best.
Even though the camp is merely family-sized, there’s still a lot on the camp itinerary. The camp runs for eight weeks, and every week has a specific “theme.”
