Pancake Relay Camping Activity


Pancake Relay Camping Activity
This Activity is meant for older campers. Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger campers or not.
Required:	One rope. For each team: - stove or fire - pan, bowl, spatula, spoon - dried pancake mix and water
Preparation:	Tie rope between two trees about 9 or 10 feet up. Have a judge available at the rope for each team.
Notes:	Good competition activity. The racers take the batter so the next pancake can not be started until they return. If a pancake is dropped, it still needs to be eaten or a new one cooked. The pancake needs to be flipped over the rope before being eaten.
Objective: Eat pancakes in shortest time. Instructions: Build a fire. Prepare pancake batter. Cook a pancake. Carry the pancake on the spatula to the rope. Take the bowl of batter and a buddy. Flip the pancake over the rope and the buddy catches it (or not). Buddy eats the pancake and gets clearance from a judge. Buddies run back to the fire and next pair cook a pancake. Repeat a set number of times.
