Week #9: Crafting

Ideas on how to incorporate theme: 

Ask your campers on the first day what kinds of crafting projects they would be interested in and use that information to help plan your week 

• • Pick projects that an instructor in your group has done before
  • Keep things simple and don’t bite off more than you can chew! 
    

Games/Activities:

Charcoal and Rock Paint
Charcoal and rock paint is fun to do when playing by the creek 

The Organic Artist for Kids by Nick Neddo is a great resource! 

• • Make your own paint brushes using white pine needles 
  • Make a nature mobile 
  • Leaf rubbings 
    
• Decorate your basecamp by making a mandala using natural materials 
• Round robin but with different projects 
• Trade blanket 
• Other camps to interact with: Color Foragers, Advanced Wildcrafting, Raven’s Camp 

Song suggestions: 

• Over Under Basket 
• Forget Your Perfect Offering 

Questions to ask:

How can we give gratitude to the natural materials we’re using?
