Rainy days: program ideas that make a splash

Camping Magazine, July-August, 1996 by Randall Grayson

Is there a camper or counselor with a special talent who could teach it to others? Other ideas include songs, games, story telling, and exercises.

If the cabins or tents are too small to hold large groups, or if your campers aren't overnighters, combine units to host activities in the main building or dining hall.

Rain, rain, come again

With the right staff attitude and proper prior planning, rainy days will be fun days. Your campers might even look forward to them.
