WEEK 7
For week 7, CBH staff and campers are going to two amazing places! At the beginning of the week, troop camp will travel to magical lands for FAIRYTALE theme. At the end of the week, My Guy & I will come and we will have an alien invasion for SPACE theme.
For the troop week all camp, I was thinking they could come up with their own fairytale land, just like we did for a Zeus activity this past summer. Each troop creates their own land, story, song, costumes, whatever they would like. They can make their unit house into their own kingdom. We can then all travel around CBH to see what each other came up with.
Fairytales like Paul Bunyan, Hansel & Gretel, Jack and the Beanstalk will be told and acted out at evening campfires. Upicks and CYOAs could include planting a beanstalk, making magic wands, or going on fairytale treasure hunts.
For My Guy & I Space theme, aliens will invade! All Camp will of course be Mission Impossible! I’m also hoping to talk to a nearby planetarium and offering that as an optional trip for dads and daughters (just like the rafting trip). Upicks and CYOA could include stargazing and making rockets. I also was thinking we could have a couple staff be aliens all week that want to be taught what camp is all about.
Staff, what other ideas do you have to make these two themes come alive?
Happy Camping,

Last year, I really enjoyed making up fairy tale lanes with the campers- they come up with the most hilarious ideas and it was cool to see what each group came up with. It was also a really great rainy day activity!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Fairytales being told at the campfires!
