Solid Rock Family Camp 2010 Part 2

Why? Why spend so much time and energy for two days of "camp"? The answer is simple. To build memories. 

Camp Schedule 2010:

11:30 Check in/registration/lunch

12:00 set up tents

12:30 decorate shirts/team posters/team names

1:00 orientation/group pictures

1:30 group  games (shoe kick/freeze tag/ sharks and minnows/ human knot, etc)

2:00 free time/snack shack/crafts

Crafts this year included: clay, making crossbows (that shoot straws), beading, rock painting, gimping, badge making and making felted dolls

3:30 more group  games

4:30 camp songs/meal prep

We have each team help with kitchen duties and use plastic trays. These are washed in a "dish line" outside. More than one person has suggested using paper plates for ease of clean up, but we want to preserve the camp atmosphere and feel like KP helps accomplish this. The children earn tickets for washing their dishes which can then be spent at the snack shack in the afternoon.
