While we can’t be together in-person this summer, Camp El Tesoro Staff, Counselors In Training (CITs) and other guests will be sharing weekly camp-at-home activities spotlighting a different theme each week.

Pull up a camp chair or comfy stool and settle in for a good Camp Legend. Legends help connect generations of campers through their shared remembrances of classic camp stories. Enjoy this week’s actvities and a special Camp Legend told in our video below.

Don’t forget to keep track of activities on the Camp El Tesoro CAMPO Card – like Bingo, but better.

Social Connection

Many camp legends have been passed down for several generations. What’s your favorite camp legend? We’ll give you the opportunity to vote on a favorite legend through Camp El Tesoro’s Facebook Page.

Activty 1 – Read the Legends

Activity 2 – Act it Out

Choose a legend and perform it for your family. Consider costumes, shadow puppets or enlisting the help of your siblings or neighbors. Many of these can be performed while social distanced. Go ahead and snap a photo and share with us by tagging #CampElTesoro or @CampElTesoro
