Whenever I host a camp I add some fun. Sing Camp Classic Chants and Songs: Greasy, Grimy, Gopher Guts, Herman the Worm, Chick-a-boom, Pizza Hut, and Tom the Toad. Sing clapping songs. Let the kids come up with team cheers and team names. (One memorable group dubbed themselves Bubble Monkeys. I can’t make this up.). Look for temporary tattoos, stickers, mini-skeletons, even syringes pens. I usually buy bags for their stuff. They’re kids; they love a little swag. I try to do themed snacks, such as Oreo Moon Phases. Go outside and chalk dead bodies or test paper airplanes. We once accidentally released a solar balloon the kids were certain would be shot down by the local Air Guard. Look for a few activities which are a little silly and just for fun. I bought leather blanks or wrist bands for the kids to stamp. What a hit!
