These activities are led by your school staff and/or chaperones from 7:30-9:00pm. Please download your activity's lesson plan from below and ensure that the adults leading the activities have a copy of the lesson plans in advance.

Your Eagle Bluff liaison will assist you to gather materials, set-up the classroom, and assist with directions and answer questions prior to the start of the evening activity.  They are designed to be flexible and meet a variety of your needs.

Campfire:  What better way to end the day than to gather around a small campfire for songs, skits, stories, and star gazing?  Your liaison will assist you in developing a program that fits your school’s needs. Lead the entertainment yourself or have our staff lead it!

Dream Catchers: ($1.25 charge per student) A Native American tradition to protect you while you sleep, dream catchers help catch the bad dreams and let the good dreams reach you.  Materials and directions for each student to make their own dream catcher will be available along with Native American readings about the origin of the dream catcher.

Eagle Bluff Olympics: Competition occurs naturally.  People of today compete for resources we need to survive.  Games like tug-of-war, thumb wrestling, whistling while chewing crackers, logic tests, charades, animal taboo, tree I. D., and many more give students the opportunity to analyze the nature of competition and how it affects our lives today while having fun.

Know Your Bluff Stuff:  Eagle Bluff trivia, game show style!  Students will be quizzed on their Eagle Bluff knowledge learned while participating in our many classes and activities.  Due to the nature of the game this activity is only offered the second night of a 3-day program.

Owl Pellets ($3.00 charge per pellet, 1-2 students per pellet):  During this class, students will dissect an owl pellet to find bones, fur, or anything else the owl has eaten.  The bones will be used to identify the prey species consumed by each animal.

To gain an understanding of recycling and paper conservation, students will go through the process of paper making.   All participants will be able to take their paper home with them.

Yard Games:  Students will work together while following directions to play familiar games such as bocce and badminton, and learn new ones like kubb, and ladder golf.  This activity is designed to promote healthy and active recreation choices that can last a lifetime.
