The Activity's have now been posted to the main website, and putting everything together this is a rough guess as to how it will/could pan out.
Things, of course may change between now and then......
A typical
day will start at 7am- sometimes a little earlier ie 06:30 if there
is a trip out ( note the end time!!) morning starts with a visit to
the food supply tent and pick up the ingredients for Breakfast+pack
lunch, Flag break is roughly 9am and has featured a small group
activity based on the main camp theme /subcamp theme, our Subcamp is
the Rusty Railrood, the overall camp theme is steampunk.
Most activities
start at 10am, on-site activities are in two or four blocks with a
break in the middle for lunch. at the end of the activities we go to
the food supply tent to pick up the ingredients for the evening
cooked meal+instructions on how to cook it.
After
the Evening meal a leaders meeting takes place ( we may need a scout
to assist!! ) where we discover what activities we will be on the next
day, and what equipment /kit will be required, once day bags are
packed for the next day ( ie swimming kit) and activities allocated
evening activities start such as a Frisbee competition in the first
part of the evening, then a nightly "unwind" party in the
"Mokkie" until 11pm or thereabouts ( note what time we need to start
in the morning!)
other
evening activities have included the Internet tent, Car Stuffing,
Tug-of War, face painting, chill out zone(s),
and more
Mixed
into the theme of the camp, at the last Two Haarlem jamborettes was
an inter subcamp competition, with points based on the camp theme
being awarded for participation, Scouts ( and leader) enthusiasm
teamwork and more.
In
2011 the theme was "Energy unlimited and we collected tokens
known as Jambo Joules, which filled an "energy meter" in
2015 the theme was "Cartoon your Camp" and we collected
Developmental Quotiant point tokens which enabled our subcamp Avatar
to develop from an Egg to a starfish (?) to a mouse to a gremlin,
then to an old man ( see our youtube video haarlem jamborette closing
excerpt) This years (2019) theme is Steampunk
Below:
list of activities, note these may change
Saturday
27th July : Arrive/set up, Sunday 28th July :
continue set up+subcamp opening games followed by main Camp Opening
Monday 29 July Hike: The escape hike (20k) there are a few other hiles on offer, this is a best guess as to which one we will be taking part in:
This
challenging hike runs on and around the areas and towns surrounding
the camp site and is 20 km long. This is how you can see the terrain
and its surroundings. The hike is made up of several parts. Each part
becomes available by solving our escape room/scenario tasksso you
decide how long the total hike time will be.

Tuesday
30th July: Activity Trail
Under
Pressure:
You
need to keep your head cool when conquering the obstacle course. Use
water, fire and air to your advantage and hold on tight to the moving
objects. Time is your biggest enemy here, so don’t crack under it's
pressure if you want to succeed!
Post-Apocalyptica
What
do scouts do when they face a challenge? Right, they roll up their
sleeves and get down to business. Whether you have to escape the
playing field through a series of assignments, battle your opponent
during a Pillow Fight XL or reach the other side with the power of
teamwork, these challenges are sure to challenge your skillset.
High
Gear Island
As
the self-proclaimed epicentre of the Haarlem Jamborette, the Trail
Island offers various activities on the island and the adjacent
water. Reach the highest point of the campsite and zip down on the
iconic zipline.
Mad

We
provide the materials: wood, wheels and whatever you need. You
provide your creativity, enthusiasm, teamwork and a bit of ingenuity.
As a result, you will not only create a cool vehicle, but a true
adventure: try to finish the course on both land, water and perhaps a
bit of air , and earn eternal fame!
