Hello camp counselors! Now I know you all have big plans for your campers and have schedules filled with activities for each day, such as extreme underwater basket weaving or bear hunting. However, every year, there is at least one day where rain cancels all the super fun, team building, and completely (not) approved by the National Parks and Safety Association activities you have planned for the campers here at Camp Leakey Stump.
Playing out side in the rain is dangerous. Children can slip and fall in the mud, be electrocuted by lightning, or sometimes be hypnotized and taken away forever by the strange, glowing figure that appears at the edge of the forest surrounding Camp Leakey Stump when rain is especially heavy. That is why you must have indoor activities planned in advance for such days. Thankfully, the Camp Leakey Stump management provided a few fun indoor activities with in this guide book.
One activity is learning how to sew. This is a skill that can be useful to learn for both boys and girls. After all, you never know when you will randomly turn into a werewolf and run howling into the night to steal sheep from the local farmer's flock. Knowing how to sew would very useful then, seeing as all your old clothes would have been torn to shreds and you would have to make yourself new ones out of the wool of the sheep you stole. Sewing materials, including cloth, can be found in the attic of the main lodge in the wooden box next to the big gold chest no one is allowed to acknowledge.
Another fun indoor activity is bird watching. Specifically watching the floating parrot that changes color every thirty seconds and spouts undecipherable prophecies about whomever gets too close to it. This is a great way to teach the younger kids at the camp their colors. The parrot can be found floating next to the fireplace mantel in the main lodge between twelve o'clock PM and five o'clock PM. No one knows where the parrot is at any other given time.
Also, you can always make homemade ice cream. The campers will love it, and the camp ice cream maker can make enough to satisfy even the hungriest groups of children. The ice cream maker can be found in one of the cabinets of the main lodge's kitchen along with instructions. Ingredients will have to be picked up by the counselors ahead of time, so it is important to listen to the weather channel for a forecast of the week. Ice can be found in the the back of the basement of the main lodge in the freezer. Do remember to bring down a live chicken for the chicken coop to the thing that lives in the basement before you send someone down to get ice. It would be unfortunate if a camper were to go missing because the thing that lives in the basement had not been fed that day.
Aside from these activities, there are plenty of other activities you can come up with on your own. Puppet shows are prohibited though. Do not perform puppet shows. We do not need another puppet show related lawsuit. Puppet shows do not exist, nor have ever existed. puppets are creepy. Also the indescribable mass that lives in the girls lavatory will be angered if you perform a puppet show, which does not exist. As always, remember to make sure your campers are having fun and are relatively safe.
