I think I'm going to buy a bamboo steamer. If it works well, maybe we could a steam snack or something like that. I'm most excited about making some steamed dumplings.

Maybe "Mythic China". It might be cool to do some move by wire stuff on a video. We could consider our own cheesy martial arts flick.

What if we did some sort of Ancient China theme. We might be able to come up with somesort of ancient wintercamp magic or something.

I found a site that says they are cellophane noodles made from starch. It occurs to me that the Chinese guy I sit next to at work may know the answer :)

the ones that expand really fast in water are rice noodles. i dont know what the are actually called.

You've rlealy impressed me with that answer!

Some research based on steve's post makes me think that he's talking about saang mein noodles (made from wheat) or you mian noodles (made from eggs). some helfpful Yahoo! user says they are boiled very quickly in hot oil.
On Monday, 16-Jan-2012 13:30:20 EST, Steve said
We have to have those noodles that expand really fast when they hit the water or oil or whatever it is they hit.

Make it Jello then ;)

Sounds good, but let's not have spaghetti that day.

I can bring the chopsticks! Just bought 200 pair for $11.
On Tuesday, 10-Jan-2012 23:48:16 EST, Ethan said
A meal where only chopsticks are used could be worked into a variety of themes. Not sure if we've done this before, but it might be something neat to try.

I have a couple of board/card games that might work well with that them. Anachronism would probably be the most interesting. It is specifically designed to allow warriors from different cultures to fight each other.

So King Arthur vs. Genghis Khan or Hiawatha vs. Joan of Arc are both possible. It's normally a quick game, we could consider a week-long tournament by just leaving cards and decks around.

never mind dont have school and we could have American day which has some wild west stuff maybe even the Southern hospitality meal
On Tuesday, 10-Jan-2012 15:53:19 EST, Ethan said
I was talking to Timmy and he suggested around the world and ancient warrior themes. I think we could have some kind of "Wide World of Warriors" theme where each day picks a region and appropriate warrior group to focus on. Could do some costume action.
On Tuesday, 10-Jan-2012 11:15:40 EST, Steve said
So anyone have a theme idea? I'd kind of like to see Wild West. I know we had that them before but the activities were more like pioneers than cowboys.

We haven't really had a good costume-based theme in a while.

I noticed Mr. Maxim's Wood Badge Course Facebook group was a big hit. We can see if that translates to Winter Camp. I set up a Group on The Facebook for Winter Camp XXXVI. Check it out at:

That's the day after thanksgiving, which might play a role in your schedule

november 23rd i think i have school and i get out at 2:30
On Sunday, 08-Jan-2012 13:39:17 EST, Steve said
Looks like we'll be on one of their days :) I'd recommend either the 28th or 30th, just because the cubs will be less of a factor.

I'm still kind of surprised we haven't heard from them to see if we could help with events. Imagine a group of cubs getting exposed to a Winter Camp style activity.
On Friday, 06-Jan-2012 08:34:23 EST, Ethan said
I checked with Sharon Teran about Cub Winter Camp. She says, "The dates are Dec. 28, 29, 30"
On Thursday, 05-Jan-2012 00:47:21 EST, Steve said
Part of the service day involves avoiding Cub Winter Camp now. I don't know when that will be, but it could be a factor.
On Wednesday, 04-Jan-2012 09:56:07 EST, Ethan said
Because we like to have the service day on a week day, we'll probably want it on the 28th this year. This is the Thursday-Monday set of days. Last time we had that was XXXI. That year, we had the service day on the 28th.
On Tuesday, 03-Jan-2012 14:57:11 EST, Ethan said
I think we opened the old time capsule the day before we buried new the one last year, giving more time to explore its contents. I'm for a repeat of that event. Maybe we could repeat a meal from Winter Camp XXXI (or whatever Winter Camp the time capsule would be from) in conjunction with the opening.

On a related note, could we put a ground flare in the hole to go off before we start burying it?

The more jackpot based meals, the happier I am.
On Tuesday, 03-Jan-2012 11:20:56 EST, Steve said
Looks pretty doable. Maybe we could have jackpot yogurt as a dessert or side.
On Tuesday, 03-Jan-2012 09:31:48 EST, Ethan said
I'd like to try making yogurt at winter camp.
