 Christian summer camp  Outdoors adventure camp Rock wall Zip line Arts and crafts Games Low ropes(slack line and telephone pole) Water day  Ages 5-11  I have worked every summer for 4 years

 Hands on activities  Montessori  I used hands on activities for the scavenger hunt  Researched each activity

 Scavenger hunt  I love to work with children and at camp  I studied the curriculum  Wrote the questions and came up with the activities  I wrote the directions and put together the activities

 Luke 2:41-52  Jesus teaches at the temple

 Snowman building race  Ice sickle obstacle course  Snowball shooter  Penguin egg search  Jigsaw puzzle  Swift suit up  Animal snow search

 Each group had to make the best snowman possible  Teamwork

 Goal: go through the ice sickles without touching them  The kids enjoyed the obstacle course

 Goal: shoot the snowballs into the buckets  The boys enjoyed this activity more than the girls

 Goal: find the penguin egg in the snow  One egg had the hint in it

 Goal: put the puzzle together as fast as possible  The kids did not enjoy this activity as much

 Goal: put on all your winter clothes as fast as possible

 Goal: save the baby animals from the snow

 Not enough camp staff  Clean-up  Messy activities  Age difference

 I learned that I really enjoy working with children  Scavenger hunts can be difficult to plan  I learned that working with children takes a lot of patience  I learned that it takes a lot of time management skills  I learned that I would still like to pursue a career in early childhood education.
