Monster & Teeny

I was far too relaxed at last weeks Muddle Puddle summer camp at Kessingland to recall what happened on any specific day so this will be a summary rather than diary of the week.

This was our fifth Home Ed camp, our second Kessingland but our first time in a tent. We’ve spent lots of time with many of the people present including sleepovers, local meet ups, parties and a group holiday last year, but there were several new families to the group to get to know too.

Tent living was far from the dreadful existance I had been fretting it might be and we all loved it, the weather was pretty much perfect for each occassion with wind for kite flying, sun for clothes drying and sandcastle making and cloud cover for a day at the local zoo.

We did tie dye, sandcastle building, needle felting, polyfilla crafts, kite making and basket weaving. We had a communal barbecue and a cabaret night event. A day trip to the local attraction, Africa Alive! which we had a couple of animal encounter talks with a chance to meet, hold and stroke various animals and a sponsored event on the last day thought up and organised by the children.

There was adult and child socialising aplenty with water pistol fights, team games and education at every corner.

My flickr snaps are here for anyone wanting to get the full visual experience of the week!
