FV at night == movie fun!

Family Village

The Family Village is intended for children of 0 to around 12 years old, and their parents. You can camp there, or play there during the day and camp elsewhere. All kids are welcome. The Family Village will be organized if there are enough kids and parents around to make it worth while to create a village.

We have a tent and some pillows we can use to make a kids lounge with. Maybe we can organize some toys and/or games, or your kids can bring their own. The Family Village will most probably be located pretty central, near the camp fire, the lounge and the retro-arcade. There is also a climbing-thing and some sand to play in, as well as access to the trees next to the field (for climbing etc.). This location will enable you to be relatively near to your kids when they sleep, and you sit at the camp fire, lounge, etc.

So, let's put up a list of ppl interested in having a Family Village below.

Inhabitants

• diggie + girlfriend + 2 daughters (ages 5 & almost 8) in camper-van full of meuk.
  (and self-appointed village manager)
• You?

Events / Activities

There are lots of fun things to organise around the Family Village. We'll see what we like to do at the moment, depending on the ages of kids turning up at the village. Here are some ideas though:

• pancake fest - diggie will bring a huge pan (around 50cm) to bake monster-sized pancakes in
• hut building - we can build huts and tree houses in the forest next to the camp field, as long as we respect the trees and don't leave traces
• drawing, play doh, tinkering - there's lots of stuff you can do with
• watch movies - Bring movies suitable for kids. Watch them. Simple.
• search hunt across the camp site - Tell kids to find out what a makerbot is, or tell them to bring back a certain type of connector. This way they can interact with the rest of the camp site, learn stuff, and have fun at the same time
• etc.

Hey, go ahead, put your ideas on the list!
