This past weekend we had our second virtual camp. Our first one was last spring and it went over very well with the girls and their parents, so we decided to do it again! Here's the schedule and the booklet that we sent out to the Brownies and their families:
Friday Night:
6:30 pm - Camp opening and tent tours
All the girls built blanket forts for our night of camping, so we started camp by giving each other tours.
It wasn't that cold so I slept outside |
7:00 pm - Camping scavenger hunt
Our girls really like scavenger hunts so I included a camping scavenger hunt in our activities. This one was pretty basic, just a list of things we might bring on a camping trip like a flashlight, mittens, a winter hat, and a sleeping bag.
7:30 pm - Edible campfire
One of our girls specifically asked to learn how to make a campfire and this was a fun way to do this that didn't involve any actual fire. In the booklet I included a list of suggestions for the different elements of the campfire, and I used these instructions: Edible campfire instructions.
8:00 pm - Campfire singalong!
We sang some old favourites, and I taught them some new songs like the Penguin Song! If you'd like to read more about planning a virtual campfire, you can read my post about it here.
Saturday Morning:
10:30 am - Winter storytelling activity
I showed them a series of images and had them work together to create a story. We ended up with a story about two of our girls building an upside down snowman and becoming friends with a bear named Fred. I wasn't sure how this was going to go, but the girls really enjoyed it. Winter storytelling images.
11:00 am - Winter paper dolls
I knew by this point I'd be pretty tired, so I picked an easy activity. We coloured in the winter paper dolls from makingfriends.com and talked about how to dress properly for cold weather (the actual printables are a bit hard to find, but if you open the booklet you can find the links for them in the camp schedule).
Overall this camp went really well. We had some technical difficulties on Saturday morning, but the girls still had lots of fun.
