Video Night

A night of watching videos. |

Bake A Thon
| Description: |
An evening of baking. |
| Basics: |
We should have an evening (or at least part of an evening) devoted totally to baking. We could do it the first or second night of camp and bake all our goods for the week. It would be a cool social activity and give everyone a chance to bake something. This would be a welcome change from a few advisors handling the backing while everyone else is on an activity.We should also coordinate this event with the snack for the evening and serve freshly baked bread with butter and jam. After all, no sane person can resist the idea of tearing into a loaf of freshly-baked bread. |
