   * Morning Activity Time
     * During a weekend campout, you generally have time for 2 Saturday activity blocks, or you can opt to do a longer mid-day activity like a hike. Some activities are also good multi-section activities where you can have the older sections work with the otters.
+    * I always like to start off the first activity time with a review of camp safety guidelines
     * Some big hits with Otters:
       * Orienteering

+  * Afternoon Activity Time
-      * This can be a continuation of the morning activity or another activity. Sometimes it's nice to keep the activities somewhat themed, either to where you are or to a type of activity. For example, if you did orienteering in the morning, you could have the kids make their own maps in the afternoon. Or if you did tidepooling in the morning, you could draw pictures of what you saw or go fly kites on the beach in the afternoon.

-      * Free play time is important for the kids. Otters may need some down time after a busy day, or they may want to play. You can also use this time to work one on one with kids who want to do some badge work.

-    * Night Hike
+    * This is also a good opportunity to get the kids singing songs. We always end our campfire with Scout Vespers, and repeat after me songs are always huge hits.
-      * Campouts are a great opportunity to fit a night hike in! This may be more appropriate for older Otters depending on what time you start. Encourage the kids to keep their lights off as much as possible and let their eyes adjust. It's also really fun to try to be quiet and listen to the night sounds as much as possible. Stargazing on/after night hikes is a big hit as well.
