Farm Camp

This camp was a residential multi-level winter camp; girls were ranged from Sparks to Rangers and everyone had fun! We tried to adapt activities that might be too easy or too hard for girls depending on age and in the end we decided pairing up younger girls with older girls worked best.

This camp had some links to programming;
  • Brownies - Be A Chef & Key to Camping (part)
  • Guides - Tasty Treats & Farming
  • Pathfinders - Knots, Knives & Outdoor Lore (part)
We used a crest from E-PATCHES once again you can find the link below.


Attached you will find all the instructions for crafts, games and even a sample menu. Please feel to leave comments with how YOU did things!

Alice in Wonderland Camp

This camp was a Spark and Brownie camp but could easily be modified for all levels.

This camp really was more of a just for fun camp (and that's ok!) they still learnt basic outdoor cooking skills and even some map reading skills. The scavenger hunt in this booklet is specific for the campground here in Quebec but can easily be modified.

For this camp the leaders all got dressed up as a character from the movie and played into our roles throughout the day on Saturday. It was just as much fun for the girls as it was leaders!

We used a crest from E-PATCHES which you can find the link for below.

MasterChef Camp

This camp was a multi-level camp; we had girls from Sparks right through Rangers and it was a massive success. The programming included portions or all of the following badges;
  • Sparks - Being Healthy (whole badge)
  • Brownies - Food Power (whole badge) & Go For it! (part of badge)
  • Guides - Healthy Eating (part)
  • Pathfinders - We Are What We Eat (part) & Active Living (part)
In order to separate the patrols we ended up ordering aprons from ORIENTAL TRADING (find link below) in place of crests. However, there is now a crest you can use on E-PATCHES as well (find link below)


The activities ranged from kitchen safety, preparing food, learning where our food comes from and leading a healthy lifestyle.

Treasure Island Camp

This camp was so much fun!

The camp was held with Sparks and Brownies at an outdoor camp in the spring. We split the girls into ships and bought coloured bandannas from Oriental Trading that they wore all weekend so we knew which Patrol they belonged to.

We did crafts and games related to Pirates, Mermaids and searching for treasure. We used the following crest from E-PATCHES.
