My current camp works on a scheduled day. We divide the day into 9 45 minute periods and then an afternoon snack (the parents pick up their children at this time) I should note that we are a day camp.
I've been at this camp for 10 years now and am sick of the typical block schedule program. We have 4 days (A day through D day). If Monday is an A Day, Friday will also be an A day. The next week Monday is a B day, Friday will also be a B day. On Fridays we have a shortened schedule and do an afternoon show.
What I am trying to get at is does anyone have any ideas on how to switch things up? Sure I can play 50 different games on the basketball court but I'm thinking of something on a bigger scale.
I heard of a program where the counselors had specialties and kids of any gender/age would be able to sign up and spend an afternoon doing something interesting to them.
Even if you have any ideas for me to do just as a group instead of the whole camp, that works as well.
Thank you!
