Morning and Evening Activities are equally instructor- and participant-driven. If you have a suggestion or wish to host an Activity, please coordinate with a council member to ensure that it does not conflict with something else and that it is announced to the entire gathering. Also, please note that we are usually on "Firemaker time", especially when it comes to the evening activities! While we try to start the evening activities on time, sometimes other things (such as connecting with new friends over dinner) push them back a little bit.
