Inspirations
Looking for school camp ideas and inspiration? It can be a challenge for teachers and school camp coordinators to come up with an itinerary that’s both fun for students and achieves curriculum outcomes. In addition to making plans and running the show, you have to deal with managing parents’ expectations, handling student insecurities, manage your other teaching staff and making sure the bus is there on time. It’s a tough gig! That’s why we use our regular blog to provide teachers and camp coordinators with useful tips, ideas and solutions to make running a school camp just a little bit easier.
