Virtual Beaver Camp Sleepout

On Friday Fred and Alex's beaver leader messaged us all to ask who would like to take part in a virtual camp. The idea was you could pitch a tent in your garden or make a den in your house and they would us zoom to have 30 minute pre set meetings throughout the camp and set challenges. We jumped at the chance for a change and something diffrent to do and also for the kids to see friends one the online meeting. So the camp started at 5pm on Saturday,we had already pitched out tent and the first challenge was to decorate your camp. I had a big box of tropical party decorations for Molly birthday a few years ago so we had a mad dash to get them out.
Next was lighting a campfire and toasting marshmallows
Molly designed a camp flag and there was a disney quiz,making a tower and how meny things can you put in a piece of paper.

Later when it was dark, I put lazers and party lights on and the bubble tube
Ewan even joined us for a while!, he was taking the change to have a late night xbox match with his friends.
After sleeping the the tent, it was more meetings and challenges, this was make a catapult,  also we had save the egg, which we had to make something to keep a  egg safe and drop it from a height, which worked for us,a nice safe egg.

Camp camp closed at 4pm on the sunday. The kids really enjoyed it and the leaders did a great job.
