Opening Circle
Activities will include both large-group circle games (Octopus), and songs (A Long Time Ago, Down by the bay)!
Animal Survival Game!
Are you a Carnivore or Herbivore? In this interactive game, you will either be hunter or prey?! Make sure you gather enough food and water stamps to survive for the hour!
Fishing at the Creek (Petticoat and Bruce’s Mill)
Try and catch as many minnows as you dare, while your counselor fills you in on the legend of "The Ruins" or try bug catching. Use the activity sheet your counselor has made up to identify as many different species as you can!
Lunch
It’s Hobart challenge time! How many different leaves can you collect/name? Use the baggies provided to collect as many as different shapes and sizes you can for a super-fun project later!
Swim Time
It’s time to cool off in the Petticoat, Bruce’s Mill, or Toronto Island outdoor pools, or splash in the lake at Kelso! Water Polo Time. Don’t feel like swimming, optional activities include Sand Castle Fun or various forms of Beading!
Leaf Printing & Sand Art!
Use those leaves you collected at lunch to create leaf prints! Use the sand/glue to create to add some extra fun elements to your leaf printings
Snack/Bussing/Journals/Departure
What was your favourite activity today … swimming, sand art, or animal survival? Write/or draw in your journals so you can take it home and share it with your family! Remember to bring your journal back tomorrow!
