Virtual Beaver Camp

This past weekend I became a Beaver Leader and ran a virtual beaver camp for my son. I will take the woodland name of Hedgehog.

We had seven activity zones to enjoy and a multitude of events to enjoy. This hedgehog encouraged her beaver (and small hodgepig) to have a go at the following things:

International Zone
 - make onion bhajis (these were so good I shall be saving the recipe)
 - play semut orang gahjah game (Indonesian version of rock, paper, scissors)

Snack Zone
 - make chocolate mousse (hodgepig  thought this was beyond delicious)
 - make honeycomb (it didn't work)
 - make pizza in a mug (beaver enjoyed making but refused to eat)

FAB Zone
 - make a peace dove
 - design a positive message to yourself & other beavers
 - paint positivity pebbles

Science Zone
 - make a sugar sparkler (it takes a few days...)
 - make magic snow (it was awesome)
 - make puffy paint (really messy)
 - make a lava lamp (super cool)

Creative Zone
 - draw a picture of your favourite Beaver activity Michelangelo style (upside down)
 - make a stick raft

Adventure Zone
- do some yoga
- play Don't Clap This One Back rhythm game
- iron & fold your beaver scarf

Outdoor Zone
- play spot the difference game
- bake a banana dessert
- sing campfire songs (Cecil the Caterpillar is MY friend)


This hedgehog is ready to hibernate!
