Online/virtual Book Camp! Join the Fun!

Post by Skillian »

Alright... so while on another thread I randomly came to this idea.

Basically I was wishing that I could go to a summer camp of sorts... where I could read... share what I was reading... go on hikes... sit by a fire... sleep in a tent... various other outdoor activities.


So this is going to be our virtual book camp.

How it works is that I am posting an itinerary for the following week. We will all try to do some when we can... take pictures of us doing it... and also post which books we read that day. And basically it can be used for every week.. any week.. whenever you have free time to participate... just check what today's task is ... and do it! Don't forget to take a selfie or have someone else take a picture of you.


So for example:

Monday: Read while on a blanket in the park

So on Monday the posts might look something like this:

I had such a great time reading with you guys in the park! There I am sporting my awesome hat. I got a decent tan too. I need to do this more often! Oh... and I was reading Pride and Prejudice ... again. I even read aloud to a grasshopper for a bit. My dislike of Mr. Collins is still intact. lol Also... next time remind me to bring bug spray! How did everyone else's go?




OK! Get it? Got it? Good.

This next week:

Sunday: Go on a hike! Don't live near any trails? Just walk anywhere. Even on the treadmill. It all counts to me. hehehe. And well... be careful reading and walking. Maybe keep reading to breaks. lol
Monday: Read on a park bench or on a blanket.... under a tree? .. sprawl out in the grass... and feed some birds. Any old bread you have laying around will do. If weather doesn't permit I will accept pictures of you pretend feeding birds from your sofa.
Tuesday: Read naked. Yep. It can be in the bath... or laying out on the sofa if you're daring. Make sure your pictures don't show anything! Neck up or below the knees only! :oops:
Wednesday: Read near a body of water. Lake... river... ocean... even a pool counts.
Thursday: Go for a bike ride! If you don't have a bike... I will accept skating... more hiking... skateboarding... sledding.... Obviously... read while on your break. haha.
Friday: Tent night. Even if its in your backyard... or just building a fort in your house... let's get camping!
Saturday: Bonfire night :D Whether outsides... a fireplace... or even a fireplace video on your television or laptop... read by the fire.

**If weather doesn't permit... I will accept any fun substitutions you come up with. You can also simply read next to the window while listening to the rain. :)


Can't wait until this Sunday! I'm starting this very week. :D If you are planning ahead... also feel free to post on say Tuesday that you plan on participating Friday by doing.. such and such... etc. To let others know you will be participating. So more people will be inspired to join in. :mrgreen:
I love LOVE. <3
