We had a lot of fun programs this summer but I would have to say that this one was one of my favorites. We set the tone with putting up a tent, having a fake camp fire, camping gear, fall leaves, and making smore's. We also made miniature bows and arrows.
The night started off with hearing stories around the campfire. That led into getting camping survival tips. Then we had a sing-a-long with instruments. After some stargazing we got crafty and made our mini bows and arrows. After all that we were hungry and needed a yummy camping treat. Smore's!
Books Used: Arthur Goes to Camp by Marc Brown
Toasting Marshmallows: Camping Poems by Kristine George
The Outdoor Adventure Handbook by Hugh McManners
Craft: Mini Bows and Arrows-Instructions Here
Smore's: Take a Regular Size Marshmallow, Put it on a Stick, Dip in Melted Chocolate, and Roll in Crushed Graham Crackers. Super simple and you don't need a fire! Great for worried folks like myself that don't want to burn the library down.
