Are you thinking of taking a group up to Camp Wakarara, but you aren't sure of what you could possibly do up there? Keep your eyes open, as we share a new activity each week.
Activity #1 - Design the best burger
Camp Wakarara has a purpose built outdoor cooking facility, 8 wood-fired barbecues under cover. So, even if it is raining you can still cook outside. These barbecues are perfect for groups of children to create their own meals. Give each group a set of ingredients, let them choose some 'extras' to spice up their burgers and hey presto! It's a night off cooking for the parents. This is a great way for the children to learn a few new skills - how to light a fire in preparation for cooking, preparing food in a safe and hygienic way, time management skills, cooperation skills, presentation skills, and of course, cleaning up skills at the end. I can guarantee that children will eat all of the food that they prepare, and they will declare it the best ever burger!
Oh, and the teachers and parents?? They don't really get a night off. They are usually preparing their own delicious burgers, trying to outdo the children.
Just remember to stock the firewood before you leave camp!
