Here are some basic templates for preparing Lesson Plans for a full week of camp. Start with the Skill Sets. Divide everything into Chalk Talks, Land Drills, Water Drills or No Wind Activities. Sort them into a logical progression through the week. Monday always starts with an introduction. Friday always ends with a review.
