I put together a Christmas party for my camp last year. In the end could not go but they pulled it off just the same. I think a whole Christmas Camp is fantastic!!
2 quick lessons learned when I was preparing:
-A good majority of fun pre-made Christmas decorations come with some form of MOOP (Glitter, shedding plastic trees, small wires ect,). We had to make most of the stuff we wanted there (Did the Tree Charlie Brown Style out of wood.)
- If you are going to buy Christmas themed stuff. Get it soon. By the time May rolls around most stores have everything stocked away. Also the prices online go up due to the lack of availability and the grown popularity of " Christmas in July" Parties. Your best bet is to ask people to donate Christmas items (Just MOOP patrol them before you head to the playa)
We had a few cool Christmas drinks (Elf cum anyone?). And handed out gift for those naughty (And a few of those who were nice). I do not think we are repeating the party this years, but either way, I would be happy to pass on anything I can.
Lastly, If you need elves to help, let me know! Happy Holidays
