Lisa and her family and friends are camping. Lisa’s dad takes them on a tramp and teaches them bushcraft skills. Everyone’s excited about map reading and using a compass, rock climbing and crossing a river safely. They all find they’ve got skills to be leaders by supporting the team in different ways and helping others to shine. Except Lisa – she found some things daunting and was scared to give them a go. But with the team’s support and suggestions about ways to calm her fear, she feels braver to try new things. And when Colin goes missing, and Lisa is at the heart of the rescue mission, she finds out what her own leadership skills are.
