Starting the day

• theme of the day and overview of today's activities

• camp books intro and explanation

• safety and social expectations

Culture share 1: Introduction to the theme country; the day's cultural ambassador introduces their country and culture through an opening activity - this may be a craft, learning some language, geography, or through songs and music.

Colour your own apron - each child will receive an apron they can customize as they like. A great opportunity to think about what they've learned so far.

Culture share 2: Find out about the food of today's country - the fruit, the most popular food and try some snacks!

Cooking segment: participants work in pairs to cook a simple meal from today's country. Following instructions and learning from today's cultural ambassador, participant pairs will be supported by their own camp assistant. 

Lunch: now's the fun time - eating the meal they've cooked together - and a great time for participants and facilitators to swap stories of food from our different families and cultures.

Culture share 3: After lunch,  it's time for a more active experience from today's country through organized play, stories, games, and perhaps some sport or dancing.

Rounding out the day: final thoughts and exploration of today's country. Participants will work together to record their memories, thoughts, learning, and experiences from the day in their camp book.
