Camp Adventure: A Kids Summer Camp Podcast

S1 E3  “Teamwork”

[INTRODUCTION]

Ari: Welcome to Camp Adventure! Camp is in your living room. Camp is in your car on the way to the store. Camp is under your blanket fort. Camp is everywhere. And Camp Adventure is for everyone, no matter where in the world you are. And camp counselors Ben and Hannah are ready to welcome you.

It’s number 3 week at camp, and this week we’re exploring teamwork. 

I’m camp counselor Ari, and I’m so excited to welcome you back to camp. It’s a beautiful day at Camp Adventure. Let’s say hello to Counselor Ben to kick things off.

Ben: Well, thank you, Ari. Thank you very much. And thank you campers for joining me for our third week. This is our third week of camp adventure. You believe it's already been three weeks. I know it's crazy. 

You know what the ancient philosophers and great explorers of old used to say. They used to say, and I think some still say today, uh, that time goes fast when you're having fun. So maybe that's why I can't believe three weeks have already gone by so fast because we're having lots of fun. You know, I hope that wherever you are, you're having some pretty good summer fun. 

However, I know that things might not be super fun. That could be pretty hard where you are. So I hope that you're having fun, but if things don't feel very fun right now, that's okay too. Sometimes life can be pretty hard. 

And here's the secret that I have learned on my adventures, and I have had lots of adventures, you know, and on every adventure that I've ever been a part of, and I'm not messing around here on every adventure I have ever had, the best fun happens when I belong to a team. There is something wonderful about belonging to a team. And that is what our story today is going to be all about learning to be a part of a team. 

If you think about it, being part of Camp Adventure is kind of like becoming part of a team. We gather together each week for story time and for songs. And of course the mail bag and we're working on projects together each week. So this truly is a team effort. That's so good. 

And this week's story is going to be about a chocolate team. It's not a... no... you might say, “Is he talking about a team of people who are making not of chocolate?” And I do think that would be an amazing team. I would love to see a bunch of chocolate people on a team, but this week story is about a team of kids, regular human being kids, like you and me, uh, who build something with chocolate. 

And it's a true story, but we'll have to get to that story later because right now we've got to join together in that very special way, just like we do every week at camp, where we sing our camp songs with our fearless leader, Hannah. She's a true teammate. She's always working with others, creating beautiful music and sharing it with you and me and the whole world. And she helps us sing together every week. 

I don't know if you've found yourself, but I find myself actually humming the camp song during the week, you know, “Adventure. Adventure. So let's uncover and discover great adventures, bright and new.” You know? I remember. I was singing it all the time. 

So my fellow camp adventure campers, it is that time to introduce you once again to the ferociously kind and talented woman who always prefers to take off her shoes and go barefoot. The one who always sprinkles extra sugar on her Cheerio. The one who never goes to bed before midnight. 

Please welcome with me our one and only camp adventure music leader, Hannah Glavor! Hannah Glavor!

Hannah: Thank you, Ben I just love you campers, and every week, I love singing with you. Music is the BEST.

Am I am barefoot right now just like Ben said? Why yes indeed I am—and from my house to wherever you are know that I am wiggling my toes and saying hello to you—so if you are also barefoot right now, I want to ask if you’ll return the favor—would you join me and just stick those bare feet up in the air and wiggle your toes as fast—as you can!!

Oh—Oh yeah. We are all kinds of crazy awesome.

Now, I can’t come up with all the super rad ideas that I think of by myself—I’ve discovered that when we work together, even bigger ideas and adventures that I could never have imagined come to life!

[CAMP SONG]

Ooohhhh

Have you ever dreamt up something, and it was sure to be great

But your brains were only so big and your arms could only lift so much weight

If we learn to work together we can make new dreams come true

(That’s right) Life is better with each other so let's discover something new

 

Adventure (adventure)

We venture (we venture)

Together with courage

We learn and grow STRONG

We learn from (we learn from)

Eachother (eachother)

So let's discover and uncover

Great adventures bright and new

 

Hannah: You know, what y’all—that sounded great, but let's try it a bit faster this time—especially at the end, what do you think? I think you can do it. Alright, here we go!

Adventure (adventure)

We venture (we venture)

Together with courage

We learn and grow STRONG

We learn from (we learn from)

Eachother (eachother)

So let's discover and uncover

Great adventures bright and new

Hannah: You campers sound awesome!

Thank you for joining me again, and a special thank you to all of my teammates here at Camp Adventure, because without you my teammates, we would not have all the awesome mail from all of our awesome campers!

I want to see what you listeners my Camp Adventure team are creating these days… so we are going to give a holler to my friend camp counselor Kenya who is in charge of our mailbag this week, but she tends to be out in the mountains of Oregon, so instead of a drumroll we have to give her a yodel…oh Camp Counselor KENYAAAA, oh wow did you hear that echo? Let's try that again and see if she hears us. Camp Counselor Keeenyaaaa! Oh, I can see her now—take it away you sweet mailbag queen from the Pacific Northwestern Alps.

[MAIL BAG]

Hi everyone! I’m Camp Counselor Kenya and I’m here with the Mail Bag. It’s where we keep all the mail we receive for our campers. 

Let me just open up the bag here and see what we’ve got this week! 

Wow! Our first mail! It’s a photo from Camp Adventure camper Julia in Maryland. And Julia is holding a flag with a unicorn and a rainbow. It’s Camp Unicorn!

Oh! And here’s another photo! It’s a camper standing in front of a blanket fort with a flag that reads “Winner in the Woods”. The note says it’s from Jonah, brother of Julia! That’s so awesome!

Campers, have you set up your fort yet? Did you name it and make a flag for your camp? Did any of you create a raft for Camp Counselor Ben’s floating challenge from week 2 of camp?

We’d love to know about your camp experiences and so to all of our Camp Adventure campers and families and friends, send us photos and videos and mail to listen@akidspodcastabout.com or on social media using #AKBAsummer. We’ll share as many things as we can from our Mail Bag each week. 

That’s listen@akidspodcastabout.com or on social media using #AKBAsummer.

And that’s all I have! Have a great day at camp!

[ACTIVITY]

Matthew: Heeeeeeey Campers! It’s Camp Counselor Matthew for those that know my voice. And for those that don’t yet, hi! Nice to meet you. I’m the Games Director at Camp Adventure and today our game is Scavenger Hunt!

Let me explain the rules and then we’ll get started.

A scavenger hunt is a game where the leader says a handful of objects and the first person to return with said objects is declared the winner. 

Now, I know that you’re all doing camp in different places and different spaces. Bedroom, family room, backyard, in the backseat of a car, up in a treefort, in a submarine? Hey… you never know. No matter where you are, try to get as many of these items as you can.

Aaannnd, through the magic of podcasts, we won’t have to wait for everyone to finish their scavenger hunt. In fact, we’ll all finish at the EXACT SAME TIME! Wait and see. 

Okay, so I’m going to tell you the five items you’re going to try and bring back to me today. Feel free to compete against a grownup, a sibling or friend, or just race against the clock to see if you can get the fastest time. Be careful moving about your space, of course.

After I tell you the five items, pause the show when you hear the ticking clock. If you’re the first person to return with all the items, unpause. You can also set a timer if you want to limit the length of your scavenger hunt. 

All set?

Alright!

The five items I’d like you to find today are: a book, a rubber band, a toy, something shiny, and finally something fuzzy. One item per category, so you should have five things total. 

One more time the items I’d like you to find today are a book, a rubber band, a toy, something shiny, and finally something fuzzy.

Good luck! Cue the timer and pause the show!

Time’s up! How many things were you able to find? Holy wow what a bounty!

Nice job!

I’ll be back next week with more games. Let me know if you have any favorites that we can all play.

Ari: All right campers, after this break we’re going to hear a story from Camp Counselor Ben, and I promise, you won’t want to miss it. 

[BREAK]

Ari: Okay, we’re back, and it’s storytime! Are you excited? Me too! So, let’s get ready for this week’s story! 

This week, I have a special instruction for you: check with your grownup if it’s OK to have a piece of chocolate for this story, because this story is about that sweet, wonderful treat—CHOCOLATE! (But if now isn’t the time for chocolate, that’s totally OK! Maybe just grab a different kind of snack, like some carrots or apples or whatever else would be a nice treat) Now, let’s do our stretches, let’s move our bodies around like we’re big octopuses, and let’s get cosy! You can even hit PAUSE right now to find the perfect listening spot for the week. Wherever you go, get comfy! 

Are you ready, Counselor Ben?

[STORYTIME]


Ben: Ari. Yes. Thank you so much. Thank you. I am ready for story time for sure. As usual. And this week, our story is called “The Chocolate Castle”. And yes, we are talking about real chocolate right now, my campers. And I think you're going to like the story and I think we should just start it right away. You agree? I agree. 

So the chocolate castle story starts when I was a kid in high school. I was living in the same little town in Wisconsin that I've been talking about in these past two stories where my little gray house was across from the Fox river in Burlington, Wisconsin. But in this story, we start when I'm a high school student and I'm in my favorite of all the classes at school, which was art class.

I love art class so much. Mrs. Kazarian was the art teacher who was teaching our pottery class one day. So we're working with clay, you know, it gets all sticky on your hands and we're making clay pots. And some days we made clay sculptures. One time I made a really cool green frog out of clay and Mrs. Kazarian art class. I loved, I loved art class. I still love art class. I wonder if you do. You like artwork. I bet you do. Creating things is always really fun for me. Well, Mrs. Kazarian came over to my work bench class one day and she was looking serious. Uh, you know, which is always a little scary if your teacher's looking serious.

And then she said, Ben, will you please stay after class today? I would like to talk with you. Well, oh, this can't be good. I thought, am I in trouble? Teachers don't usually ask you to stay after class, unless there's something that you did wrong. However, I was not in trouble at all this time. I stayed after class, along with two other art class friends of mine, their names were Ben and Christina, Ben and Christina and Ben.

She said, because my name has been to you, three students. I have some good news for you. What could it be? I saw it. I was so excited. She said the three of you have been chosen to be a part of a team. Well, chosen to be a part, be on a team. What are you talking about? You three have been chosen to be a team of artists.

She said team of artists. Well, that sounded good because of the artwork part. I love making art, but honestly I was not very excited about being part of a team. It's not because I just thought that was a bad thing. It was because I didn't really know what it meant to be a part of a team. She said, well, you three have been chosen to become a team of artists who will create this year's chocolate sculpture.

For the annual Chocolate Fest celebration. Your job is to make a huge sculpture. One that the whole town of Burlington we'll see along with thousands and thousands of other people, and you get to make whatever you want. And she said you won't be working with clay and you won't be using wood or metal or paper paint.

Like we often do an art class or anything like that. You only get to use one single thing to make this whole sculpture. What is that? What are you talking about? She said, the one thing you get to use is chocolate. No way, Christina, my friend, she yelled out. She had a big smile. Oh, we were so excited. We get to make with choc chocolate.

But then you might ask, why would we build a chocolate sculpture? That's a very odd kind of thing to do. Isn't it? Well, let me explain here for a second. You see in Burlington, Wisconsin, which is a very small town, even still today. There is a giant and I mean, a huge Nestlé chocolate factory and they make chocolate bars there.

And those crunch bars, you know, that have the Rice Krispies in them and they make chocolate covered raisins there that are called Raisinets and they make chocolate covered peanuts, which are called Goobers. Oh. And they make chocolate chips too. You like chocolate chip cookies? I do. Well, guess what? In our town in Burlington, the air outside, when you went outside from your house in the morning, it often smelled like chocolate and I, not many towns in the world smell like chocolate, but Burlington, Wisconsin does. And it's and you could smell it all the time now. That was pretty cool because of this giant chocolate factory in our little tiny town.

Burlington also had a very big celebration every year that all of the townspeople would come out for and it was called Chocolate Fest. And not only all the Burlington people came out for a big, huge party, but tens of thousands of other people from all over would come to our little city and we had a big parade.

Do you like parades? I love parades. We had a big parade and then this is the Chocolate Festival parade, so you can just imagine from the floats, uh, they're throwing. Lockets full of Raisinets and Goobers and those little chocolate candy bars. Oh man, it was awesome! It was so cool. And then outside of the parade, we had musicians in a big tent and there was a carnival that had a Ferris wheel and rides and game.

Oh my goodness. What fun! Chocolate Fest, especially for the kids, was absolutely fantastic. And here's the coolest part. At least I thought it was the coolest part. Every year for the big Chocolate Fest celebration, the city would choose one artist in the town and that person, he or she, would have to build a giant chocolate sculpture.

And then that sculpture would be on display all week long and everybody could come and take pictures and see the artwork. Usually they chose professional artists. Who would create the sculpture, but this year they chose our team of students to build it. And that was the team that I got to be a part of.

So. That was the coolest thing. And then we started to do this work. Mrs. Kazarian told us meet at the chocolate factory next week after school. So there Ben and Christina and I got to the chocolate factory to start working. And I'll my goodness, whoa! It was huge. Imagine the tallest ceilings that you've ever seen.

And when we came in, we had to put hair nuts over our hair, just like all of the other chocolate factory workers. I kind of felt like an Oompa Loompa in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. You know, you should have seen it in the chocolate or you should have seen the chocolate chip machine. It was the size of my house.

Millions and millions of chocolate chips, it was making every single week. It was so cool. And then after we put our hair nuts on, and then we walked through the chocolate chip section, then we went through the raise, the nut section where their chocolate covering the raisins. And then we walked through the Goobers section where they make the peanuts that are covered in chocolate until we came to a little metal door on the back wall and it led to our art studio.

This is where you kids are going to be working. The boss told us we have a special space for you. It was, oh my goodness. Campers, I cannot even describe this to you. It was unreal. The art room where all of your art supplies are chocolate. The blocks you use are chocolate. The paint you use is chocolate.

Everything was chocolate. It was like, I, it was like being in a dream. We had a big, huge stainless steel table that we got to use for building on it. Then we had a huge metal tub that was filled. It was a warm tub. It was plugged in and hot, and it was filled with melted chocolate and had big dipping spoons that you could scoop it up with.

And then we had stacks, stacks, and stacks of these chocolate bars that weighed each bar weighed 10 pounds. I'll just tell you, at the end of this project, the chocolate factory gave each of us our own 10 pounds. Chocolate bar to take home as a thank you gift. It was so cool. Well, we had huge stacks of 10 pound chocolate bars, and we got to use them like bricks to build and get this.

We even had a chocolate sprayer. Yeah, we could use this little handle thing that kind of looked like a squirt done, but it's shot out melted chocolate and we could use it for sprain on textures and that kind of stuff. Oh my goodness. It was so cool. And the boss told us, and I'm not joking. He said, when you guys are working, feel free to snack on as much chocolate as you want to. And I just have to be honest with you. There were plenty of days where we were working on our project, where we all went home with tummy aches cause we ate too much chocolate. Oh my goodness. Okay. Well, I think you can tell that this was all very, very fun.

Being a part of this project was going to be awesome. However, being a part of a team was not easy. Teamwork is different than just doing whatever you want to do on your own. So on our very first day, we had to make a decision as a team. And the first decision was, what sculpture are we going to build?

What should we create out of all of this chocolate? Well, my friend Ben wanted to start making a spaceship and Christina, she really wanted to start making a butterfly. And I really wanted to start making a frog. I'm not sure what, I was really into frogs at that time, I guess. So, “let's make a giant chocolate frog,” I said. 

Well, have you ever had that happen? Yeah. My question for you, have you ever been together with your friends or maybe your brothers and sisters and you can't decide on what to do. And then everybody wants to do their own thing, like a different thing. And then everybody just starts arguing to get, uh, you know, against each other.

Well, I think that happens to all of us, but I have to tell you, teams cannot just keep arguing. They have to learn to work together, to do what we call teamwork. 

Well, Ben and I, we're not good at being a team yet. And I started to argue. “I say we make a spaceship,” was what my friend Ben said. And I said, “I say, we make a frog.” And then my friend Christina said, “Well, I say butterfly.” And then Ben said, “No spaceship.” And I said, “No frog.” “No,” “no,” “no.” We said to each other, “No, it has to be a butterfly. That's the only good choice.” And there we were on our first day of chocolate building and we could not stop arguing with each other. 

I wanted my way, and only my way and my teammates wanted their way and only their way. Now here's a secret. Did you know that only-ness leads to loneliness? It's true. I learned that from a man named Trey Anastacio and I think that he was talking about teamwork. He said that when your day is filled with only you'll find yourself quite lonely. And that was true. 

We were working to get our way only, and we were all in the same room, but we still felt lonely. Like we were on our own and then fighting with each other instead of being a team. But teams work together. Teams say here's what I want, but that's not the only way I will also listen to you and work with you.

And my fellow campers, I can promise you this, I, you will not build great things or do creative work and, and you cannot have good adventures. If you refuse to work as a team by only fighting to get your way. And then Christina stopped saying no, only my way. And instead she said, “yes,” “Well, what do you mean?” Yes, what I asked her and she said, “yes, we can do what you guys want to do.”

Uh, I'm just excited about building with all of this chocolate who gets to use chocolate to build sculpture. So let's just decide on something and then start making it. Let's make it out of chocolate. Christina was a wonderful teammate. She understood what it meant and she led us into a better friendship.

And into good, good teamwork. So I said, “yes, let's do the spaceship or we'll do the butterfly, whatever you guys want to do.” And then the other Ben said, “yeah, let's build the frog or the butterfly, whatever you guys want to do.” “Or,” Christina said, and she was now thinking of a newer and even better idea. Yeah.

“What if we did a house?” “Yes.” The other Ben said, “but not just a regular house, a stone cottage kind of house and a big one.” “Yes,” I said, “and let's build a, a house one that's made out of stone, but even bigger than a cottage, let's build a stone castle. A giant one.” “Yes, yes, yes.” And we were all saying yes to each other and we were all adding good ideas to the one that our team was inventing.

It was so much better than arguing with each other. That same man that I told you about his name is Trey Anastacio, he also taught me that working on a team means that you are often going to be saying two words to each other. You'll be saying yes. And you'll be saying the word and yes. And rather than say no to your teammates, you learn to say, yes, let's do that.

And let's add this other good thing too. So campers, can you remember those two important things? One is that only-ness leads to loneliness. And the other one is that teams say, yes, And so we all agreed to make the chocolate castle and we were totally stoked. So the next day we arrived and we started building, we stack 10 pound blocks of chocolate, one after another, making the walls tall and strong, and we couldn't glue them together.

Cause nobody wants to eat glue. So we squished melted chocolate between the blocks. And then when it cooled, they stayed in place. So it was like chocolate glue. Soon. The walls were built all the way up, but then we had a problem. It looks like a big shiny box of chocolate. The bricks of chocolate were smooth, but stone castles are not shiny and smooth.

They're rough like stone on the outside. Well, I said, well, let's use our carving tools and rough it up and make it look bumpy. “Yes,” my friend Ben said, and instead of using carving tools, let's use that chocolate sprain tool. “Yes.” Said my friend, Christina, “and let's spray it all clumpy, so it looks like stones.”

Now we were working as a team and Ben got the chocolate sprayer and I put a bunch of more melted chocolate into the melting pot. And we went to work and we built the walls and sprayed chocolate all over the edges to make it look like stones. And then we built a chocolate tower in the middle, over six feet tall.

And like the one that you see in the Disney castle pictures. And then we made chocolate sidewalks and chocolate trees, and we made chocolate squirrels and rabbits and chocolate grass and the chocolate swimming pools. And we sprinkled Raisinets and goobers all around. And they looked like stones on little paths.

It was like a fantasy castle made of chocolate. And we were not good teammates at first. And we had lots of arguments and disagreements. But we continued to say yes to each other and then add our own good ideas. And it was awesome. Guess what? Soon we had a chocolate castle that was taller than we were six feet tall, even bigger.

And then it was six feet wide and about five feet deep, it took up the entire table and every part of it looked so good. And every part of it also looked so. Tasty. Uh, we were very proud as we looked at our chocolate castle when it was finally complete, it was beautiful and we realized none of it could have happened if we had not learned to work as a team.

Well, when the city people put it on display at Chocolate Fest, it was true. Tens of thousands of people came to see the sculpture, the newspaper took pictures and put it on the page front page of the newspaper. And our sculpture team was famous for a week. But then came the very hard part. And I did not tell you about this part earlier because it's kind of sad.

The tradition at the end of Chocolate Fest is to chop up the chocolate sculpture into a million little pieces and then sell. They sell all of the pieces and then they use all of the money raised to help the people in town who needed help. So on the last day we watched, as they took big steel knives and chisels, and they chopped up our entire chocolate castle into a million little pieces.

And everybody in the town got to take a chunk home and eat a part of our beautiful castle. And you know what. When I saw all of the townspeople eating our chocolate creation, I realized that my team was not just my team of artists, friends, Ben, and Christina. My team was actually our whole town, the city leaders, the Chocolate Fest people, my school and the teachers there, even Mrs. Kazarian, my art teacher, this whole project happened because we had all worked together as a big team. And that made me feel close to other people. And I felt good about myself and good about my neighborhood and about all of the people who lived. I felt alive building that chocolate castle was a great adventure and I will never forget it.

And being a part of a team I learned is way better than being lonely. And ever since then, I have loved working in teams, campers. This is my hope for you. I hope that you too can learn the goodness and the fun of working as a team being part of something more than just only you belonging with others and working together.

What a good adventure that will be. Teamwork is good. And who knows? Maybe just, maybe you could join a team of kids who build something beautiful out of chocolate. One day. I don't know. It happened to me. Oh, very good. Well, that brings us to the end of our third week of camp, but actually it's not the end.

As you know, by now at the very end we have the weekly challenge. So I'm going to be right back with our weekly challenge. And let me just give you a hint this week, we're going to build something, something that you might be able to eat something awesome. So just hang on and we will come right back to give you this week's weekly challenge.

[WEEKLY CHALLENGE]

Ben: Okay, campers. Are you ready for this challenge? My new to grab your Legos or other building blocks that you have maybe some marshmallows and toothpicks. How about sugar cubes or anything else that you can think of that you can build with? Because this week's challenge is to build. A castle. Yeah, that's the challenge.

Okay. Here's what I want you to do. You can do this challenge alone if you want to. And that's wonderful and good, but if possible, I really want you to try to work on this project with others. As a team doing teamwork, you can team up with your grownups or your up. Or maybe with your friends or your brothers and sisters, whomever, you can find that wants to build with you.

All right. Then I want you to work together to build a castle. Now you can do any kind of castle. You do a big one. You can do a tiny little castle. It can have walls and turrets like my chocolate castle did, or it can also have no walls, no turrets. You could make it round or square. You could make it triangle shaped.

If you want anything that you create will be so good. Then after you decide on what kind of castle you want to build, you got to decide what you want to build it with. Now you can go. If you're a grownup, we'll take you down to the grocery store. Sugar cubes are pretty cheap and you can glue them together that holds them.

You can make a really cool look and castle that way, but also like my son, Wesley who's got Legos all over the place. You could use wooden blocks or Legos, any kind of building toys for awesome castle building. I'm positive that some of you have already built castles before in your lifetime. And you might not have thought of this one, but if you get a bag of those big marshmallows, the kind you roast over a fire, and then a box of toothpicks, you can stick those toothpicks into the marshmallows and build walls and ceilings and whatever you want.

You just kind of keep sticking them together with the toothpicks. You make a whole castle out of marshmallows. I've seen it done. It's really cool. And that sure would be tasty when it comes time to chop it all up and eat it. If you know what I mean, but if you make it out of Legos, I have to tell you don't eat the castle at the end.

Cause that would be way too crunchy on your teeth and probably not very good for your tummy. Now here's the last instruction. When you've built your castle, please send me some pictures or videos that show me what you're making. I think they will be the finest creations in all the nation. And we will be able to feature them in our next week of camp when we open up the mailbag together.

Remember how we do that as a team? Other good sounds good. Sound good to you? Sounds very good to me. So my friends and campers of camp adventure this week, I say, yes. To you as my teammates. And I cannot wait to see what you build. Most importantly, I hope that you learn to love working on teams with other people, because like I've told you before, being a part of a team is being a part of a great adventure.

So I'll see you soon. Campers, I'll see you next week, but in the meantime, get out there and build and build as teammates. Okay. All right. Ari back to you.
