Christmas Camp & Dinner 2011
« on: October 25, 2011 »
We had an amazing Christmas camp at Donard Wood last year. We had a full turkey dinner with all the trimmings and it was probably one of our best camps yet and I'm really looking forward to doing it again this year.

No plans have been laid yet, post thoughts about food, drink, games and date to this thread.

Suggestions:
1) One thing I am pondering is if we could move the actual dinner to earlier in the day, say around lunchtime. That way people who couldn't camp could still come up and eat, then shoot back down at teatime.
2) Festive treasure hunt
3) Charge a small fee per person to cover food. Dowser and Chuck got totally lumped paying for the Turkey and Mulled Wine last year.
4) Festive geocaching

Last years camp:

I will be there, armed with brussel sprouts and a mess tin like last year ;)

Afternoon grub sounds like a good idea.  Guess that means we will be having turkey sandwiches or turkey curry around the camp fire later that night :D

I'll be adding any ideas to the first post so keep checking back to it.

Other than cooking dinner, everyone feel free to suggest ideas on  things we can do over the weekend.

i like the treasure hunt idea, maybe using gps? but not all may have one  :(  suppose i could make a map of the area and do a little orienteering exercise, chocolate santa's hidden nearby for the kids, and bottles of budweiser hidden further away (shanslieve  ::) ) for the adults

How about a Santas grotto .Any volunteers for Santa, beer belly and a white beard essential.
If it snows again like last year the younger ones would love it .
