Creating a great evening program or special event at camp

I like to challenge camp staff and ask them what their favourite memories are from the times they were a camper.  Inevitably, they will tell me about a spectacular kitchen raid or the time their counsellors took them into the woods to make up games for the afternoon. 

THAT, my camp friends, is exactly what we need more of.   I have always loved what Jim Penner, a camp mentor of mine, said about program: I can run an amazing camp in a parking lot with the right people.    Those people are the ones who don't just take their campers from program to program but are always trying something new and creative.

What was the best camp program you remember from when you were a kid?
