The story
The goal: Relight the great campfire so the camp in Campfire Hills can stay open together.
Your child’s part: Your child decides how to join in, share, take turns and sort out a fall-out fairly. Each thing the camp remembers brings back an ember, until the campers sit round the fire together again.
Friendship and teamwork mean joining in, sharing a goal, taking turns and repairing things when a disagreement happens.
Why parents might choose it
- Joining a group of children feels hard
- Playdates often end in disagreements
- You’d like siblings to cooperate more
Just gentle ideas to help you choose.
The Friendship Camp
Here’s what a mission looks like
The story goal: Relight the great campfire so the camp in Campfire Hills can stay open together.
Mission 1 · Hello Hill
Ages 9-10 · Future Leaders
The New Camper
Bo says: “Here's my plan. Anyone on their own gets a wave, a welcome and the offer of a hug. Simple.”Bo
- About 15 to 20 min
- Reads the story themselves
- Self-directed, parent checks in
- Hidden things
Arrival day on Hello Hill is chaos. Forty campers, a hundred bags, bunting snapping in the wind, and somebody's tent already pitched on the wrong side of the field. Ranger Maple has given the junior leaders one job before lunch: a sweep. Walk the hill, spot anyone on their own, and work out what, if anything, they need.
Bo has been a junior leader for exactly two days. He holds the clipboard as if it might bite. Cabin Four is his: six younger campers and one co-lead. The co-lead is you.
First, a choice: 4 options
- The raccoon behind the supply tent with the map
- The young beaver sitting on his bag by the bunting
- The mole reading on the bench by the welcome sign
- The chipmunk circling the edge of the football game
On the printed page: Circle each camper you find and mark your read beside them.
By the end they have: Sweep notes: five campers, five reads.
You will need: The Hello Hill scene on this page · A pencil
- Search the Hello Hill scene for five campers on their own. Four are easy to spot; one is well hidden.
- For each camper, note one clue: where they're looking, what they're holding, how they're sitting.
- Make your read: wants company, wants help, wants space, or can't tell yet.
- Suggest what might help each one. Doing nothing is a real option when space is what they want.
- Choose who you and Bo go to first, and give one reason.
- Stretch: find the camper who is in a group but still looks left out, and explain your read.
Smaller step if needed: Find and read three campers instead of five.
The grown-up’s part: Your child makes the reads. If you disagree with one, ask what clue they used rather than offering yours.
At break time or in the park this week, notice one person on their own and decide privately whether they look as if they want company, help or space.
What it practises: Practise reading a busy scene for people on their own and judging what, if anything, each one needs: company, help or space.
Word for word from Mission 1 of the draft The Friendship Camp for ages 9-10. The edition is not yet approved, so wording may change, and the mission’s own illustrations are still to come.
