Week 2 is Disney week! (and Pixar, because I like CARS and TOY STORY!!)
If you’re looking for ways to procrastinate doing your homework, watch some Disney movies and say you are preparing for camp! :0) One of my ideas for an all camp is some version of Disney Trivia! (Does anybody have Disney Scene It or Trivial Pursuit Disney or something we could use?)
For the big all camp game, I made up a Disney Mystery/Scavenger Hunt type game. I will need staff dressed up as “good” Disney characters (and an “item” the villains have stolen) and some evil Disney villains to lurk around camp, so start thinking about who you might want to dress up as! Some examples are Winnie the Pooh and a jar of honey OR Marlin and Nemo OR Aladdin and a magic carpet. Some villains include Maleficent, Hades, Gaston, Scar, etc. (The villains do not have to match with the good characters)
For decorations, we have all the colored pictures from last year and the big banners to hang up. (Should I look into getting the tablecloths again?)
Disney music will obviously be played all week J And we could have a sing-off (maybe included in the trivia tournament) And a stop-and-go meal. (Is there a name for that meal… where we play music and you have to freeze when the music stops?)
An idea for a CYOA is “Princess School” (Yes, I totally got this idea from my IT 2’s last summer that rated my princess level as a “PEEP” which comes before a PIT (Princess-in-training)) … anyway, Princess School could include the nail painting, learning table etiquette at a tea party, wearing a dress and crown etc. (I’ll let the J’s for ’11 come up with more ideas for that since they’ve already started my princess training) And if we are going to have a Princess CYOA, then we could also have a Hero CYOA where they run around on an obstacle course and “train” to be a Disney hero! And/Or we could have training to become a villain and make mischief around camp and capture the princesses. And the heroes would have to come save them! … Okay, this sounds more like an all camp than CYOA, but I just type what I think of in my head.
Time for your ideas to start being posted!
And staff & JC’s – start thinking of who you would like to be in the All Camp game
Happy Camping,

A camp counselor friend of mine at college told me about something she does at her camp called duct tape fashion show, where you take garbage bags and duct tape and basically just make dresses by taping the bags together. I thought it sounded like a super fun idea and I really would like to try it, maybe as a CYOA, with a fashion show at the end & voting on favorites.
ReplyDeleteThat would be cool! I like it.
ReplyDeleteIt's bobski.
ReplyDeleteat elk river, we did something like that. the divided the girls into groups, rather they divided themselves into groups, and we used huge rolls of paper instead of trash bags. and we had ribbons and extras. basically a bunch of random things that the children made into dresses and skirts and purses and ya know, great stuff. they all dressed one girl up. then we had the fashion show. and we made a red carpet out of red paper and they walked down the red carpet onto the runway and it was fun.
I think a good thing to keep in mind as well is that not all girls are into princesses and "girlie things," so that's where the superhero/villain would be an awesome alternative as well.
ReplyDeleteYes... Not everyone wants to be a princess and wear dresses and stuff.
ReplyDeleteI WANT TO HELP WITH PRINCESS SCHOOL!!!!
