Theme-of-the-Day is a daily post where we ask readers to leave their summer camp ideas, using the day’s theme, in the comments section. What ideas and suggestions do you have for the Theme of the Day? What game, craft, apparel choice, theme meal, evening activity, special event, song, skit, or anything else would you do at camp if your theme was…
Desert Oasis
Below are my five suggestions. Leave your ideas in the comments area below.
- I love going to the fair and filling little bottles up with layers of colored sand.
- I’m all about a theme that gives me a reason to make some pet rocks. Take a walk around camp and let the campers find their perfect rock. Then grap some paint or markers and some googley eyes – and voila, pet rocks.
- Create a hunt where the treasure is a water bottle, or a well, or the pool (every camp’s oasis).
- Make some cactus crafts.
- What do you get when you add an “s” to desert? You get dessert. Have the campers make their own ice cream.
