A number of years ago we held an arts camp with a Robin Hood theme.
Some of the activities we
included were:
Flowered wreaths to be worn on the head. The girls braided jute to fit
their head and tied it at the back. We then worked in dried flowers
(statice works really well) to fill the circlet and then tied long pieces
of thin satin ribbon that hung down the back. They were gorgeous!
Each patrol tent was a different village. They each designed a banner
which was paraded to the archery tournament. The camp director and her
assistant dressed up at King Richard and the Lord High Sherriff of
Nottingham. They presented bags of gold (chocolate coins wrapped in gold
foil) to the winning villages.
One of the activities was learning to play the recorder. A number of the
girls played a short piece for entertainment at our floating campfire
evening.
On 'festival day' the girls got a day off and the guiders did all the
chores, including preparing the festival banquet and waiting on the kids.
They really got a kick out of that day.
