Grout is Great: The “In-Between Times” - with Michael Brandwein - The Day Camp Pod #96
Blocks are good, but it’s the grout that holds everything together.
At Day Camp, we spend the majority of our planning time working on our militaristic program grids of athletics, arts, swim, etc. But the day camp day ALSO includes the “in-between moments.” These can be boring wastes of time, or create exciting and memorable CAMPY opportunities that kids will remember far longer than the ball they hit, or the bracelet they wove.
Let’s ask Michael Brandwein how HE feels about this - because I’m sure he’s got some thoughts and ideas… THIS, is the Day Camp Pod!
