TEACHING TIPS
Remind the campers that they must share all equipment.
For board games, have them take turns or consider making a tournament style to keep the pace going and make sure everyone gets a chance to play.
Remember you are in charge of keeping supplies and equipment safe and useable for the camp, you must teach the group what respecting the supplies looks like to make sure the supplies last.
