Many camps don't have themes so I included that "theme" to represent them. The Mystery Theme to me is more of a "Wild Card" theme. We have a prize wheel and we use it a lot. It can be used for where to sit at lunch to mystery activites and more. Treasure and scavenger hunts for mystery items are big for that week. Performing Arts activities that would last a week? What comes to mind is practice time for a talent show, camp play, campers teaching campers acting, magic, music, and more. Circus acts can be fun like juggling, tight ropes, unicycles, clowning, etc. Bringing in a singing coach would be really neat for hose interested. Karoake is fun. Give the campers who want to karoke time to rehearse throughout the week. The No-Theme is just that, no theme. Many camps don’t have themes so I included that “theme” to represent them.

This is so helpful! Can you tell me a little bit more about the No-theme camp and what I could do for that? It sounds pretty cool! Almost like a wild card. Also, Performing Arts activities that would last a whole week. Thanks, Cassidy Great list! This is so helpful! Can you tell me a little bit more about the No-theme camp and what I could do for that?

My biggest challege is that each grade level is seperated into a seperate "unit" and I need a theme for the week that can be used for girls in grades 1 thru 6. Also, the stations are run by older Girl Scout PA's. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks! I am looking for day camp themes for a Girl Scout week-long day camp.
