Time This schedule will give you an idea of a pirate's life.
8:30-9:00am Quiet games in the gym, supervised quiet play.
We allow parents to drop off their pirates from 8:30 to 9:00. Nothing is scheduled for this period, pirates usually play quietly with captains until camp starts.
9:00am Camp Starts!
Pirates check in with their Captains, put on name tagsand explain the schedule for the day. We take this time to stretch, wake up, and sort out any administrative issues for the day. Captains explain the battleplan for the rest of the day to the pirates so that pirates can know what to expect.
9:15am Prison Ball!
Prison Ball is one of our pirates favorite games. Teams work to capture other pirates in "prison" while learning the names of their group. We have many other similar team building games we'll play througout the week.
10:00am Treasure Hunt
Pirates will treasure hunt everyday. These range from simply following chalk arrows to using a GPS locator to find a marked coordinates that lead to the treasure.
10:45am Popsicle break
11:00am Cannonball battle aka Dodgeball
Pirates are especially fond of battle. We bombard each other with safe foam balls in lieu of the more traditional cannonballs.
12:00 Lunch
1:00pm Fencing
Pirates suit up in fencing gear and learn the basics of fencing with the Varsity Fencing coaches and the Stanford Varsity fencing team.
2:00pm Captain's Choice
We usually leave a block of time in the afternoons to be flexible. This time can be anything from singing pirate songs, making pirate crafts, swimming, or watching a magic show. Captains usually divide up the booty plundered the day and we prepare to say goodbye.
