Due to the weather, we had to flip our final two regular meetings, so tonight became Outdoor Activity Night!As the girls arrived, those going to camp in June were asked to fill our their menu choices and activity selections and everyone was asked to write down their favourite outdoor games and activities on a large sheet of paper.
We had our regular opening, followed by an active game, then went through some of the activity suggestions from the girls. Capture the Flag and Man Hunt were by far the most popular choices, so we headed outside to play.
The group divided into two teams and each team was assigned half of the space around the church for Capture the Flag. We wound up playing two rounds before moving onto Man Hunt - which was restricted to the space at the back of the church.
As it was cooling off, we went inside to make ice cream! The method we used was mix 2 cups Half and Half, 4 tbsp Sugar and 1tsp Vanilla in a small can. The lid was then secured and sealed with duct tape. The small can was put inside a large coffee can and ice packed around it. Some salt was sprinkled over the ice and the outer lid put in place and secured with duct tape. The girls then sat in a circle, rolling the can back and forth between themselves while singing campfire songs. We didn't quite have time to get the ice cream completely solidified, but it was still pronounced taste and disappeared quickly!
