Okay so again I struggled to find a time for day camp that works for everyone. Therefore, I haven't had day camp for nearly two months! Next week I will try as hard as I possibly can to make it work out. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience. Here's an idea you can use until I have day camp again. Make a list of things you can find in your outdoor environment, like things in your yard, neighborhood, or any other outdoor area. Give the kids a copy of the list and have them search for every item until they've found all of them. You can also turn it into a competition by giving each kid a copy of the list and have the kids race against each other to see who can find all the items first.
Item Ideas
- big pinecone
- piece of gravel
- maple tree leaf
- twig
- log
- chunk of moss
- mushroom
- unique flower
- big rock
- worm
- frog
- etc
* If you do have living organisms, such as fungi, animals, or plants, make sure to leave fungi alone, release animals back into their habitat, and leave living plants in their place. This is just so we can protect the environment.
If you want to try another version of the scavenger hunt, you can hide things (cones, buckets, shovels, toys, etc) around your yard and have the kids find those instead.
Enjoy!
