What to do at camp...?

Everything we do at camp we try to have revolve around music.  Sometimes it can be difficult!!

For Games: we have changed Red Light Green Light to Largo Presto - as the week goes on and kids learn more tempo markings, we add those in.  Duck Duck Goose/Grey Duck will probably become Bach Bach Beethoven.  But we can't play only these games everyday!!

Crafts are easier for ideas, but harder because of the age spread!  At least one day of crafts will be devoted to props for each groups presentation.  Another day will be for the camp bandana or t-shirt (we haven't decided yet!).  The first day will be Paint the Music--we play a piece, have the kids listen with their eyes closed and then paint the shapes and colours, etc. they see.

And all of this has to fit our budget (although we have some leftover from last year)--so hopefully we'll find out soon if we have enough campers to start buying supplies!


If you are interested in camp (if you're in the Rochester area) visit our Facebook page or the Bethel CYF site.

Many of our plans that we got from the internets are on my Camp Board on Pintrest
