In March Camp Yellowjackets was hosted by Fair Market in Austin Texas during the opening of Film and Movie Weekend at SXSW 2023.

Once you can tell your roots from your mushrooms (don't worry, Misty definitely knows!), we move on to Target Practice, because PROTEIN MATTERS!
Here, Campers were invited to test their skill at axe-throwing, and were given three tries with a plastic axe to hit any number of targets - signs, bullseyes, and stuffed forest creatures.
