Some notes
This program shows a couple of things:
| Timings |
These depend on how experienced the campers are, the weather conditions, and how long it takes for your particular campers to do things. |
| Activities |
The program above is taken directly from our noticeboard. The terminology was based on the theme of space exploration, hence activities such as Blast Off, Space Debris and Power Source Acquisition. I find these sorts of related words are much more appealing than "activity", so I try to come up with imaginative terms to describe what we will be doing. |
| Wide Game |
This is an example of a wide game that is woven through the entire camp. The basic activities we did for this wide game are here. |
