Featured Theme: Appetite for Adventure

We have a lot of new and exciting themes this summer! This week's featured theme is Appetite for Adventure! We know that our campers love to cook and have expanded upon this theme to include more cooking activities. 

If you haven't read it yet, here is the description for the Appetite for Adventure session:

Have you ever wanted to be a chef, but are just not sure where to start? During this week of camp, you will learn basic cooking skills such as stovetop cooking basics, dicing fruit and veggies, and flipping pancakes. You will put your new skills together to prepare and create at least one meal to share with your fellow campers. 5-night campers will take a field trip away from camp to visit Nourish farms where they will make a meal with all homegrown ingredients. You will still have the chance to enjoy all of the classic camp activities such as swimming, tie-dye, and making s’mores!

We are excited to give you a little sneak peek at some of the exciting activities that we have planned. Here are some of the activities happening on Monday:

Monday morning will include choice activities where campers can choose to go to different stations. The stations include the following:

• Pool

• Archery (brownies and up)

• Riverstomping/tubing

• Homemade applesauce

• Making chef aprons

The remainder of the morning will include some activities with Nourish Farms. A group from Nourish will be talking about composting and growing food. They will also prepare a special meal with homegrown ingredients for campers to enjoy. 

After lunch and a little bit of me-time, campers will participate in the first-ever "Nailed It" competition at Camp Evelyn! We can't ruin too much of the surprise, but let's just say the first part of this activity will involve making some creepy desserts. 

After dinner, we will continue with the second part of our "Nailed It" competition where campers will be challenged to replicate a Camp Evelyn cake. Of course, there will be some taste testing involved. 

The optional late-night activity will include swimming in the pool! 

This is just day one! We will have plenty more adventures and surprises during the rest of the week!
