Hello! Today I am going to camp at the Norbeck-Muncaster Mill Neighborhood Park!
I packed my bag with everything I need. I have
A water bottle
Close-toed shoes or boots
Clothes that can get dirty
A nut free lunch and snack
Sunscreen and bug spray
When I get to camp, I walk up the steps to the first classroom door (to the left facing the building), and head inside with my adult.
My adult will check me in at the front table, making sure I have everything I need. This is when I get my name tag!
When I come inside, I will place my bag along the wall.
If it’s not time for camp to start yet, I can do an activity while I wait.
I have the choice to do something like read a book or play a game with other campers.
This is a good time for me to go to the bathroom, too.
Once everyone is here, we have a morning meeting. We say hello, learn the rules and hear the plan for the day.
I will eat my snacks and lunch outside on our field trips, or inside if the weather is bad
On Monday, we will practice an emergency drill by walking to the playset.
Each day of camp, we will travel to new places and learn new things about archaeology! Here are some of the things I may do:
Hike to an archaeology site on a trail
Learn to use an atlatl
Learn about 19th century life at Oakley Cabin
Learn about the Civil War and archaeology at Monocacy National Battlefield
Experience a 20th Century school day at Kingsley Schoolhouse
After all our adventures for the day, we will have free time inside while we wait for our adults to come and sign us out of camp
Camp Expectations
When I’m at camp, I will make sure to:
Follow directions so I stay safe
Stay with a counselor or group at all times
Leave nature where I find it. We only touch what a counselor says is safe, and we put everything back
Stay on the trails. To help us stay safe, we need to, “Look down, stay on the brown!”
Have a fun and safe week at camp!
