Have you ever wondered what kinds of workshops our campers choose from in the afternoons? If so, read on!
Our workshops are always announced at breakfast, with the staff members running them offering a 10 second pitch or demonstration. Campers hand in a first and second choice workshop from a list of 10-12 options. Most campers get their first choice – but if not, they are prioritised for their first choice the next day. Workshops ending in presentations have a chance to show their work when we meet for “Flagpole” – our daily camp-wide meeting – in the late afternoon.
So here it is – a list of just some of the workshops on offer this session!
