We had an outdoor camp with the theme of “Bushies” one year. Here is the program and menu. Hope they give you some ideas.
This camp was held about twenty years and many computers ago. I no longer have the original files for the activities or menu. All this information comes from the noticeboard for that camp. These days we tend not to offer the same number of food choices as were available at this camp, but this was a large camp, with seven patrols and forty girls.
Timings for camps will vary according to your girls’ experience and the complexity of the program and menu.
