From Crafts to Crusades: the wide range of camp activities!

08/18/2014

Every day at Frost Valley campers are given the opportunity to explore different sides of themselves with a variety of programs. This afternoon in Arts and Crafts, Lakota Village got their creative juices flowing with an array of activities. Some tried their hand at making candles, while others twisted their t-shirts into unique patterns for tie-dye or made friendship bracelets to share with each other.

Over on Hayden Soccer Field, Outpost played an exciting game of “Crusades.” Half of the village hid behind barricades, launching dodge balls to protect the holy artefact, while the other team bobbed and weaved towards the treasure with nothing but a frisbee shield to deflect the flying objects. As the game progressed, so did each group’s teamwork and strategy.
