Schedule For Backyard Day Camp

Posted: Thu, Mar 03 2011, 7:30 pm Post subject: Schedule For Backyard Day Camp

I'm thinking about doing a day camp this summer for 3 year olds. I wanted some ideas of things I should know and maybe a rough idea of scheduling. Any other tips would be helpful and if I think of additional or more specific questions I'll ask. TIA!

I did a daycamp with my own little kids this past summer. Here are some things I did, they might help you.

* I wrote on a blackboard everyday the schedule for the day in pictures with timing

* Any prep for snack or lunch is also an activity for ex. I made fruit shakes, peanut chews or pizza with them.

* I made my own bowling set with plastic soda bottles filled with a little water

*games like: what can you do?, May I, big shot ball, red light green light

There's so much you can do, it depends how many children you are having.
I can keep on going, painting,do dots, clay(you can even make your own for more fun), dance to music, bead and cheerios necklaces, story time, etc.
