    I have used heavy gage aluminum wire such as used for clotheslines
    (remember those?) and had grade school children hammer them around
    the posts of school swing sets. These bracelets were finished with
    steel wool and the kids were quite pleased with them. These were
    rural kids and were able to bring hammers from home. You can tell
    from that statement how long ago this was. Pity the poor kid who
    would try to bring a hammer to school today. However, if you could
    get  hammers of any sort, the wire could be hammered around baseball
    bats or sections of pipe from the hardware store. Since you are in a
    camp situation, maybe you could go the real primitive route and do
    the hammering with stones that the kids could find.
