YOUR TASK
is to work with a team of 4 students to develop a new name, budget,
advertising campaign, and healthy action plan for the
old run-down Camp Bon Bon.

FIRST, A LITTLE HISTORY OF CAMP BON BON:
*Camp Bon Bon
is built on 100 acres of beautiful wooded and cleared lands.
*On the property is a lake, a horse pasture, a barn,
a mess hall and kitchen, and a latrine.

Why is it run-down? you ask.
Because campers and counselors spent their summer days
eating bon bons and doing
nothing to appreciate or preserve the beauty of the camp!
*They did not cook their meals...they only ordered fast foods.
*There were no activities to choose, and they were very lazy.
*They did not brush their teeth or bathe,
so the tents are smelling a bit funky.
*Campers often became sick because of the poor hygeine.
*Finally, several of the trees burned down,
because one of the campers threw a lit cigarette into the dry grass!

YOUR TEAM HAS AN ENORMOUS TASK!
The cleaning crew has just finished tidying the run-down camp,
and it's ready for you to set up camp for the next campers.

WHILE YOU ARE PREPARING YOUR HEALTHY CAMP PLAN,
KEEP IN MIND THE FOLLOWING RULES:
1. Your camp must be based on healthy choices.
2. Your camp must provide choices that kids are going to want.
(In other words, it has to be healthy AND fun!)
3. You have $1,000,000 to spend on new equipment and construction.
4. Each of your teammates will have different assigned jobs.
You will work on your job independently,
but you will also need to work together to make final decisions and share ideas.
5. You must each do some research related to your job assignment.
Then you will present the facts in the form of a PowerPoint presentation.
You will have 2-3 slides with titles, information, and clipart or photos.
(Please remember that your words must be your own, and you must
cite the source for all information, clip art, and photos that you use!)
6. You are in competition with other teams.
Third graders will look at all teams' plans and vote for the one
they think would be the best summer camp to visit.
7. Your new camp needs a new name.
8. You will have 2 weeks to finish your project. Due date is on the board.

WHERE DO WE START?
1. The first thing you'll do is respectfully meet your team members.
2. You will think of a new name for your camp.
3. You will decide which members will have the following jobs:
MEAL PLANNER & COOK
EXERCISE AND ACTIVITY DIRECTOR
HEALTH INSTRUCTOR
SAFETY ENGINEER & BANKER
4. You will click on the Process button to link to a job description
of specifically what you need to do to complete your job successfully.
5. Take a few minutes to read and understand your job, then meet back with your team to each share your responsibilities.
6. You will also need to discuss how your team will keep up with the budget.
The Banker will have the final say in the budget if a conflict should arise.
7. Get started, and have FUN!
