Could use some fresh ideas
We do water play each day! Love it! Just find sprinklers anywhere park someone's lawn in front of Target. It's a blast!
We try to go to a park each day. We explore nature jump on rocks collect eggs rocks
We build a tent out of wood. We build a bow and arrow out of rope and a bent piece of wood and sticks.
We are aspiring to build a basket for bikurim in the beis hamikdash.
Would love for cheap craft ideas rally they up ideas on kvetchy days
Would love some parsha based crafts. Can you recommend any websites or booklets for the summer parshiyos?
Skills based crafts or sports for a small young group (10 and under)?
Any chessed ideas (corona friendly?)
Quiet time is a must. Special time is also a must.

I'll start:
Chalk with salt
Bake clay (flour water what else) into cool shapes
Melt broken crayons into cookie cutters in the sun
Homemade finger paint
Planting seeds watching them grow
Delivering flowers to ppl and making them smile

How can I incorporate more torah into mommy camp? Not a big fan of media (phone or computer use)

Project ideas: http://www.chinuch.org/topic/1.....jects - chinuch.org has parsha projects and mitzvah-related projects
skill-based crafts: they can make bead bracelets (or froot loop bracelets); they can do scratch art
Incorporating Torah: you can do parsha skits with them (chinuch.org has some skit ideas too)
