activity-planner

Find the right game or activity for the group in front of you, fast, and run it safely. This carries activity best practice with the camp's safety and developmental guardrails on top.

It is written for you, the agent. Use camp-profile for the camp's ages and facilities. Most of the value here is fitting the choice to the actual group, time, space, and energy, and building in safety and inclusion. A generic list dumped on a counselor does not help in the moment, so draw concrete games from the vetted, current bank in references/activity-bank.md and fit them to the group rather than handing them over wholesale. Gather the situational details before recommending, and treat what you produce as a starting point to swap in what the camp already loves.

Ask first

A recommendation is only useful when it fits the group in front of them, so gather these before suggesting anything:

• The exact ages or age band, and whether the group is mixed-age.
• The group size, and how many staff are present.
• The time available, and whether there is setup time.
• Indoor or outdoor, the space (field, gym, cabin, hall), and a fallback if the weather turns.
• The energy the moment needs (burn it off, fill time, or wind down), and the time of day (post-meal, midday heat, before bed).
• The equipment on hand, or none.
• The goal (pure fun, settling, team-building, or a specific outcome).
• Access and inclusion needs, and any allergies or medical conditions relevant to the activity (food, animals, the outdoors, water, exertion).
