As something that can be done near the end of the week is give the campers something to shoot at, if you pin or tape various sized balloons to the targets and get the campers to fire at them. It is important to have balloons of many sizes, this make it easy for some who are not that good and harder for the more advanced shooters. If you have a budget for the candy shop, put little coupons in the balloons and the campers gets the prize if they pop the balloon. Put the better candy in the smaller balloons.

In canoeing a t-rescue is where one canoe flips over and another canoe comes up to it at a perpendicular where the nose of the flipped over canoe is at the center of the canoe making a “t.” Then lift the nose of the canoe onto the top of your canoe so that the gunnels are touching. That is one canoe upright with the other canoe upside down on top of the upright one. This drain all the water out of it. Flip it over and slide it back into the water right side up. Then you have two canoes upright. Help the other people into their canoe so that it does not flip again.

One idea for the campers is to make them a highlight video for the week. If you are good enough it can be sold to the campers at the end of each week. If your skills are more of a hobbyist instead of a professional the videos can also be put on the camp’s website and the campers can come and view it at a later time. Making a video for the campers will give them something to remember their week at camp and something to watch later on while they are getting excited about the coming summer.
