Based on the activities chosen by the girls, each unit was able to participate in four different sessions. We took part in Lantern Making, Tye-Dye Madness, Covergirl, and Knots, Knives & Lore.
Knots, Knives & Lore included learning different knots and string games, and a challenge to unwrap and cut chocolate while wearing oven mitts.
Lantern Making was tin can lanterns. Cans are filled with water and frozen, then a pattern can be placed on the can and a hammer and nail used to make holes. Once the ice has been removed, a tealight can be added and the light will shine out through the nail holes.
In the Tye-Dying session, we learned about making natural dyes and then used pre-made dyes to tye-dye t-shirts that were being remade into bags.
Our last session was Covergirl, where we learned about make-up and beauty projects used in the Middle Ages and made natural lipbalm.
Other sessions were: Games Galore, Water Games, Canoeing, Fishing, Archery, Medieval-themed Crafts, Astronomy and Pond Study.
