This year we did a cousin's camp for the kids. It was a roaring success and I think it will be an annual event. The theme was Taylor Tiger's on Safari. It started with the kids checking in and recieving some of their loot. Then there was a swearing in. Everyone had to pledge to be nice and not whine and have fun. Then Phil and Meags provided a killer scavenger hunt at Kiwanis complete with compasses and an orienteering lesson. The kids all loved it. Then it was dinner, served cafeteria style, camp songs, camp cheer, etc.
For every activity the kids earned beads they could put on these necklaces:
Adventure passports:
The campers:
The pledge:
A crash course in orienteering:
