    From the moment they "arrived on the island," the children were immersed in a thrilling scenario: a tropical storm was on the way, and they had limited time to prepare. Their mission? Work together to build shelters, make fires, and learn how to stay safe in the great outdoors using natural materials, limited resources and their wits.
