This week’s Camp Au Pair theme is Pirate Adventures
Crafts, recipes, activities, and games can all be found here on the Camp Au Pair – Pirate Adventures pinboard. Since there aren’t that many pirate-themed places to go in our area, this theme is best played out in your own home and back yard. This pinboard features lots of great ideas to bring the pirate theme alive for kids.
Field Trips can be a great way for kids to learn and have new experiences.
- Chesapeake Pirates in Annapolis
- Urban Pirates at National Harbor
Videos – Look for fun videos about Pirates on YouTube.
Movies – Hook, Muppets Treasure Island, Peter Pan, Treasure Planet, Return to Neverland, Veggie Tales the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything, Treasure Island, Goonies and Pirates of the Caribbean are all movies that fit in great with this theme. Check the ratings to make sure they are age-appropriate for your children.
Books – Stop by your local library and look for books on pirates.
