Survival Camp 2018

My name is Andrew McDonald and I teach 3rd grade at Willow Brook Elementary School.  I attained Eagle Scout at 18 and I have been in the Air National Guard for 17 years.  Many experiences through living life, being in the military, and living in another country for several years has taught me the importance of being prepared.  This summer will be my 6th summer teaching survival camp at Cornerstone Church of Knoxville.  I love seeing children learn to work together as a team and have the opportunity to talk through scenarios that might not go perfectly.  We have so much fun together learning about the world around us and how to interact through some of its challenges.  

Survival Camp #1 Boys  6-12 $55 for first child $45 for second child or multiple kids. Bring a water bottle, clothes to get dirty in, and I will provide a snack. If you have questions call (865) 548-0415 or email amacteach@icloud.com.
