Frequently Asked Questions about Activities
 |
What will my daughter
be doing all day long? The campers spend
their day on a combination of “centers” and unit time. At the centers (songs,
crafts, science etc.) the girls will participate in age-appropriate activities.
During unit time, the girls and the unit leaders decide how to fill their day
based on the desires of the girls. They may work on a badge, they may go
hiking, they may conduct a science experiment. |

Does my daughter have to be a Harry Potter fanatic to enjoy the camp? Not
really. While we use Harry Potter-like names for activities
("Transfigurations" instead of "Crafts") many girls who know nothing about Harry
Potter attend the camp and enjoy the activities. The most intense Harry
Potter activity is the daily trivia quiz which the unit works on as a team.
We focus on the "lighter" aspects of the Harry Potter books. |

Will my
daughter earn any badges at camp? Every girl will receive a
Camp Crossroads "participation" patch
that she can put on the back of her sash or vest. We allow each unit to select
the badges they want to earn -- the girls are given a chance to vote
on a couple of possibilities on-line before camp begins. Each unit will do something different! Sometimes
the activities completed in the centers (Crafts, Outdoor Cooking, Science,
etc.) will also meet badge or program patch requirements. The purpose
of this day camp is not to earn badges but to have a wonderful
outdoor experience. It's not about the bling -- it's about the fun! |
| My daughter attended Camp Crossroads last year. What badges did she
earn? About two weeks after camp, the activity sheets are posted on
our web site. We leave them there for about 9 months. The activity
sheets are posted by unit. You'll have to remember the unit number!
You and your daughter can use this activity sheet to determine if she's earned
any badges. The
earned try-it, badge or patch is not given out at camp -- only the Camp
Crossroads "participation patch" was passed out. |
