Kelly- I used this for my students who didn’t go away to camp with the rest of the class. They had a blast and enjoyed all of the activities!
Jodi- This summer I taught summer school and camping was my theme. The activities matched well with the students I taught and the activities were fun and students enjoyed them
Andrea- This is great!! It was perfect for my camping room transformation. Everything was ready to go! Highly recommend.

I loved the theme of the Camping, but realized that it was mainly only being used in lower grades. I wanted to use it upper elementary, so that we could have a fun end of the year theme week! That is why I created a unit where the students would be engaged, but also learning and practicing higher level skills! I hope your kiddos are as engaged as mine are during this week!
Much Love,
