Buy them a Boy Scout Handbook and a fishing rod for each. By that age we had permanent shelters built and stocked all down the river and local lakes. At night we built a fire, threw some foil-wrapped veggies (corn, potatoes) on the coals, and fished all night.
We all got drivers licences that year, and joined the army at 17.
we still fish the old spots.
I am a Scout Leader.......... and that advice is so 40 years ago. 1974 has come and gone and kids today do NOT care about that. Try that and I guarantee they will absolutely not want to come on the next trip.
Ask them what they want then come to a compromise. I've been a Troop Leader for 10 years, ask them what they want. Kids want to have input, they want to be involved, they want to be part of the process.
