Summer Day Camp Themes and Ideas

[Ruby Schwinn]

Hello,
I now work with 4-H, instead of Girl Scouts, but have done camping programs
with them for many years. The most rememberable was one called Passport
around the world. Each day we focused on a different country, their
customes, foods, games, geography, some craft unique to that country,
languages, etc. It was a wonderful week. We did up a passport type booklet
and each day of attendence, it was stamped with some thing about/from that
country. Picture of flag, someone famous etc.  On our overnight we had a
dinner feast. Each troop/unit choose a country to prepare a food item from.

<p>Hope this helps a little.

Other themes were "Famous Women In History"
Indian Culture, using the indians tribes that are native to your area,
Farm Fun Day Camp, which incorporates how/why of farming and how it effects
the world around us.
Environment & Natural Resourses,  Career Fun, Science Adventures.
