Description
CAMPFIRE STANDARDS:
Our units are taught through living book format.They are applicable to all age levels, pre-reader to adult. If you would like to see how we adjust each level for difficulty (while allowing the whole family to come together), please visit this page HERE.
UNIT DESCRIPTION:
For this unit we have two contributors, both of whom were State Department diplomatic security specialists for U.S. Ambassadors, as well as for the creator of Microsoft and others. They so thoroughly know the ins and outs of how to keep a building safe, how to check for security vulnerabilities, how to prevent intruders, how to spot anything out of the ordinary, how to best utilize alarms, how to avoid any sort of tampering… really, their career is keeping the ‘most important people’ in the US (and their families) safe, while in their home and out of it. This is really just as much family defense as it is home defense. Who better to share with you how to defend your own home and keep your own ‘most-important-people’ safe?
We made it fun for the littles (a LOT of fun!) while also keeping in serious elements. We made this with your entire family in mind! It has a high activity and game focus, so little kids don’t get scared, but it does contain mature element for older students as well (including talk of weapons). It is perfectly suited for the whole family to do together if everyone just grabs their own guidebooks and begins!

DIFFERENCES FROM THE NORM:
This is one of our original units, so it is separated into five guidebooks instead of three. [pre-reader, elementary, middle school, high school, adult –vs– Early Learner, Growing Learner, Advanced Learner]. We better streamlined the guidebooks (formerly called “journals”) as we went along.
**THIS PARTICULAR UNIT IS ONE OF OUR FIRST AND DOES NOT YET CONTAIN CORE CONNECTIONS LIKE OUR OTHER UNITS. IT IS THEREFORE NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS A STAND-ALONE. IT IS ALSO A LOT DIFFERENT IN STRUCTURE/GRAPHICS/LAYOUT/LENGTH THAN OUR MORE RECENT UNITS, THOUGH STILL ONE OF OUR CUSTOMER’S FAVORITES!
IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHICH SCHOOL SUBJECTS ARE COVERED, GO HERE.
This will be the first in a two-part series, where the second is even more advanced concepts.
