Planning for camp
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007
On today’s slate, and already 4 weeks late, are the activities I’ve got to offer for the upcoming camp (July 16-30). They’ve given me detailed forms that need to describe the events and activities I’ll lead, thus giving teens unforgettable joy and making them want to elect me best camp counselor of the century.
I’m trying to find activities that will justify the purchase of some new Mac equipment. I’ve put film-making and digital portraits on my list. If I could just find a way to justify a 24” screen or a color laser printer…
There’s got to be a “nature” activity. Does capture the flag played in the forest count? I wanted to pin beetles to a piece of wood for display, but conscience got in the way. And I’m not too sure about mushrooms. (“Sure it’s edible. I think.”)
For the outdoor activity we’ll make water-balloon launchers with old jean legs and surgical tubing. We’ll shoot at the kids from the 7-12 year old camp.
I’ve got to find an outside game for 24 kids. Any ideas? What did you enjoy doing when you were at camp (besides painting ceramic fish), that did not include TP, explosives, or the display of under-garments?
Come on. Help me out here.
