What You'll Do
Pack your bags for the pretend camping trip of a lifetime! Join your campfire leader to survey the landscape, deciding where to pitch your tent, and what gear you’ll need.
Be reflective as you stock up on provisions and arrange them around your imaginary campsite to make it as cozy as can be. Craft cardboard marshmallows, then gather around a paper campfire to “roast” them with your fellow campers.
Note: As we know attention spans vary, our pre-K classes are designed for flexibility. The primary adventure unfolds over the first 30 minutes, followed by 15 additional minutes full of fun, optional activities for kids who are up for the full 45.
