2024 Theme Pre-Vote at February Task Group

Posted on by Kitti

Due to a surplus of wonderful theme ideas, this year we’re revising how we do our theme voting. Campers will still be presented with 4-5 themes to vote from during this summer’s Ashgrove Adventure, with the final theme chosen and announced on the last day of camp.

However, before we get to that point, all adults and camp aides who attend the February Task Group meeting will pre-vote on the (currently 10) themes that have been presented to Task Group over the last several months. This pre-vote will narrow the long list of themes down to the 4-5 themes the campers will vote on.

Want to cast a vote for which themes will be presented to the campers? Join us at our Task Group meeting on February 16th, 7pm (6:30pm social time) in the Firefly Lodge!

Need a refresher on what the theme options will be? Check out the digital versions of our theme posters! And for those of you who’re wondering, none of these themes have ever been done at camp before (though we’ve done similar themes).

FIESTA: Ashgrove’s Mexico Adventure

It’s FIESTA time! Grab your sombreros and your ‘amigas’ and join us as we explore the wonders of Mexico. Take aim on fun in Archery, investigate the mysteries of lost civilizations and marvel at the Monarch Butterflies’ miraculous migration. Build your expedition team on our challenge course and hone your camp skills, then plot a course to traverse a wonder-filled land from the Gulf Coast of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean with a peek at Our Cabana, an international center for Girl Guides, near the heart of the country. Immerse yourself in lively music and dance; try your hand at folk arts; crank your own ice cream and learn stories of a diverse culture and its people. Don’t take a ‘siesta’ or you’ll miss out on our FIESTA, Ashgrove’s Mexico Adventure!

Ashgrove’s “Star Wars” Adventure: May the forest be with you

In a camp, not so far, far away join Padawans and Jedi Masters to form a team ready for the challenges of inter-galactic adventure. Test your survival skills on the Outer Rim, use the force to get on target in archery, or try your hand at out-of-this-world crafts. Share stories of the stars as you crank your own ‘Hothian’ frozen treat, and then expand your world by exploring the wonders of the planet you’re on. Raise your voice in song, create rhythms for a universe you design, and run diagnostics to discover the wonders and perils of space. Ashgrove Adventure, this is the camp you’re looking for!
